Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- (bug 60771) SECURITY: Disallow uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces. Also disallow iframe elements. User will get an error including the namespace name if they use a non-whitelisted namespace.

- (bug 61346) SECURITY: Make token comparison use constant time. It seems like our token comparison would be vulnerable to timing attacks. This will take constant time.

- (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected mediawiki package.
