+ <background>
+ <p>
+ MediaWiki is a collaborative editing software, used by big
+ projects like Wikipedia.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A security audit of the MediaWiki project discovered that
+ MediaWiki is vulnerable to several cross-site scripting and cross-site
+ request forgery attacks, and that the image deletion code does not
+ sufficiently sanitize input parameters.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ By tricking a user to load a carefully crafted URL, a remote
+ attacker could hijack sessions and authentication cookies to inject
+ malicious script code that will be executed in a user's browser session
+ in context of the vulnerable site, or use JavaScript submitted forms to
+ perform restricted actions. Using the image deletion flaw, it is also
+ possible for authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files via
+ directory traversal.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MediaWiki users should upgrade to the latest available
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apps/mediawiki-1.3.11"</code>
