    Package : mediawiki
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-3966

    Omer Iqbal discovered that Mediawiki, a wiki engine, parses invalid
    usernames on Special:PasswordReset as wikitext when $wgRawHtml is
    enabled. On such wikis this allows an unauthenticated attacker to
    insert malicious JavaScript, a cross site scripting attack.


    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:1.19.16+dfsg-0+deb7u1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:1.19.16+dfsg-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mediawiki packages.
