I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.22.1, 1.21.4 and

These releases fix a number of security related bugs that could affect
users of

several bugs. You can consult the RELEASE-NOTES-1.22 file for the full list
of
changes in this version. Download links are given at the end of this email.

== Security fixes ==

* MediaWiki user Michael M reported that the fix for bug 55332
(CVE-2013-4568)
allowed insertion of escaped CSS values which could pass the CSS validation
checks, resulting in XSS. (CVE-2013-6451)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58088>

* Chris from RationalWiki reported that SVG files could be uploaded that
include external stylesheets, which could lead to XSS when an XSL was used
to
include JavaScript. (CVE-2013-6452)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57550>

* During internal review, it was discovered that MediaWiki's SVG
sanitization
could be bypassed when the XML was considered invalid. (CVE-2013-6453)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58553>

* Durign internal review, it was discovered that MediaWiki's CSS
sanitization
did not filter -o-link attributes, which could be used to execute
JavaScript in
Opera 12. (CVE-2013-6454)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58472>

* During internal review, it was discovered that MediaWiki displayed some
information about deleted pages in the log API, enhanced RecentChanges, and
user watchlists. (CVE-2013-6472)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58699>

Additionally, the following extensions have been updated to fix security
issues:

* TimedMediaHandler: Bawolff discovered an XSS vulnerability with the way
the
extension stored and used HTML for showing videos. (CVE-2013-4574)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56699>

* Scribuntu: Internal review found a NULL pointer dereference in
php-luasandbox, which could be used for DoS attacks. (CVE-2013-4570)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54527>

* Scribuntu: Internal review found a Buffer Overflow in php-luasandbox. It's
not know if this could be use for code execution on the server.
(CVE-2013-4571)
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49705>

* CentralAuth: Eran Roz reported that MediaWiki usernames could be leaked to
other websites. Javascript returned for CentralAuth's login would update the
page DOM with the username, even when included on other sites.

<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57081>

* SemanticForms: Ravindra Singh Rathore reported a missing CSRF check to
Mozilla, who reported the issue to us. Several other forms in the extension
