Summary: CVE-2007-0894: mediawiki full path disclosure
           Product: Fedora Extras
           Version: fc6

"MediaWiki before 1.9.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
via a direct request to (1) Simple.deps.php, (2) MonoBook.deps.php, (3)
MySkin.deps.php, or (4) Chick.deps.php in wiki/skins, which shows the
installation path in the resulting error message."

1.8.3 (current FE6) in the CVE entry is not listed as vulnerable, don't know if
the omission is intentional.  And whether installation path disclosure is an
issue with Fedora packages can also be debated, reporting here just in case
there's more to it.

Thanks for the heads-up (1.8.3 should be vulerable as well, it was probably
forgotten in the list of vulnerable versions).

Indeed for the package we aren't losing any more information than the attacker
would already know (unless he doesn't even know he's attacking a Fedora server).
For F7 upwards (and most possibly backporting to FC6/FC5) the code and data are
being separated (code moves to %{_datadir}), so there won't be any direct
requests possible at all. But this still needs some testing in F7/devel.

There is an update of mediawiki which among other fixes this.

FC-5 and FC-6 will be updated to 1.8.4.
F7 will be updated to 1.9.3.

I'll close this bug once the packages make it to the master repo.

Thanks!
