I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.21.3, 1.20.8 and 1.19.9. These releases fix 2 security related bugs that could affect users of MediaWiki. Download links are given at the end of this email.
* Kevin Israel (Wikipedia user PleaseStand) identified and reported two vectors for injecting Javascript in CSS that bypassed MediaWiki's blacklist (CVE-2013-4567, CVE-2013-4568). https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55332
* Internal review while debugging a site issue discovered that MediaWiki and the CentralNotice extension were incorrectly setting cache headers when a user was autocreated, causing the user's session cookies to be cached, and returned to other users (CVE-2013-4572). https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53032
Additionally, the following extensions have been updated to fix security issues:
