[MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki security update: 1.15.1 and 1.14.1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a security and bugfix release of MediaWiki 1.15.1 and 1.14.1. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in [[Special:Block]]. Only versions 1.14.0, 1.15.0 and release candidates for those releases are affected. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow an unprivileged attacker to gain administrator access to the wiki by tricking an administrator into viewing a page which emits a malicious script. The malicious script may also be able to gain privileged access to other applications on the same domain. Other changes in these releases: 1.15.1: * Fixed fatal errors for unusual file repository configurations, such as ForeignAPIRepo. * Fixed the "change password" link on Special:Preferences to have the correct returnto parameter. 1.14.1: * (bug 17737) Fixed russian URLs for Special:BookSources * (bug 17713) Using links with only an anchor no longer add an dummy entry in the pagelinks table * (bug 17897) Fixed string offset error in <pre> tags * (bug 17832) Fixed action=delete returning 'unknownerror' instead of 'permissiondenied' when the user is blocked * Fixed performance regression when accessing deleted (archived) files Upgrade FAQ: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#Upgrading ********************************************************************** 1.14.1 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-1.14.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.14.0), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-1.14.1.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-i18n-1.14.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-1.14.1.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-1.14.1.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.14/mediawiki-i18n-1.14.1.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html ********************************************************************** 1.15.1 ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.15.0): http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.1.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html
