Letting other websites use wiki content
by Eric K 28 May '11

28 May '11

Suppose we have a wiki, and we want other websites (blogs and any other sites) to use our wiki content. For example say the wiki has different types of random facts about countries. When someone visits a blog, they can see a box where that random fact is presented, and that data is drawn from the wiki. Whats the best way to do this? RSS? Someone suggested Semantic Mediawiki and I'm looking into that, but I thought I'll ask if anyone else knows what the best way is for a blog or external site to display dynamically generated content that is drawn from the wiki. thanks Eric

MediaWiki security release 1.16.3
by Tim Starling 26 May '11

26 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.16.3, which is a security release. Three security issues were discovered. Masato Kinugawa discovered a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue, which affects Internet Explorer clients only, and only version 6 and earlier. Web server configuration changes are required to fix this issue. Upgrading MediaWiki will only be sufficient for people who use Apache with AllowOverride enabled. Due to the diversity of uploaded files that we allow, MediaWiki does not guarantee that uploaded files will be safe if they are interpreted by the client as some arbitrary file type, such as HTML. We rely on the web server to send the correct Content-Type header, and we rely on the web browser to respect it. This XSS issue arises due to IE 6 looking for a file extension in the query string of the URL (i.e. after the "?"), if no extension is found in path part of the URL. Masato Kinugawa discovered that the file extension in the path part can be hidden from IE 6 by substituting the "." with "%2E". To fix this issue, configure your web server to deny requests with URLs that have a path part ending in a dot followed by a dangerous file extension. For example, in Apache with mod_rewrite: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \.[a-z]{1,4}$ [nocase] RewriteRule . - [forbidden] Upgrading MediaWiki is necessary to fix this issue in dynamically-generated content. This issue is easier to exploit using dynamically generated content, since it requires no special privileges. Accounts on both public and private wikis can be compromised by clicking a malicious link in an email or website. For more details, see bug 28235. Wikipedia user Suffusion of Yellow discovered a CSS validation error in the wikitext parser. This is an XSS issue for Internet Explorer clients, and a privacy loss issue for other clients since it allows the embedding of arbitrary remote images. For more details, see bug 28450. MediaWiki developer Happy-Melon discovered that the transwiki import feature neglected to perform access control checks on form submission. The transwiki import feature is disabled by default. If it is enabled, it allows wiki pages to be copied from a remote wiki listed in $wgImportSources. The issue means that any user can trigger such an import to occur. For more details, see bug 28449. The localisations were updated using content from translatewiki.net. ********************************************************************** Download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-1.16.3.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.16.2), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-1.16.3.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-i18n-1.16.3.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-1.16.3.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-1.16.3.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.16/mediawiki-i18n-1.16.3.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEUEARECAAYFAk2jxbAACgkQgkA+Wfn4zXn38gCWISDEZuC+Ap3Z4aBfibnuNSU1 EgCfeL2lo/4XtCuoKOwah0YbuaHyf5I= =S2JZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
