  "details": "Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerabilities:\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, an XSS vector exists when MediaWiki is\nconfigured with a non-standard configuration, from wikitext when\n$wgArticlePath='$1' (CVE-2015-8622).\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, tokens were being compared as strings, which\ncould allow a timing attack (CVE-2015-8623, CVE-2015-8624).\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, parameters passed to the curl library were not\nsanitized, which could cause curl to upload files from the webserver to an\nattacker when POST variable starts with '@' (CVE-2015-8625).\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, the password reset token could be shorter than\nthe minimum required password length (CVE-2015-8626).\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, blocking IP addresses with zero-padded octets\nresulted in a failure to block the IP address (CVE-2015-8627).\n\nIn MediaWiki before 1.23.12, a combination of Special:MyPage redirects and\npagecounts allows an external site to know the wikipedia login of an user\n(CVE-2015-8628).\n",
