[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#591382: mediawiki: Stable version missing recent security patches

[Jacopo at Bach]

Package: mediawiki
Version: 1:1.12.0-2lenny5
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


The mediawiki version in lenny seems to be missing the security patches released with 1.15.4 and 1.15.5

For example, the changes of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/66990 and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/65760 have not been applied. This was also pointed out today on wikitech-l by Max Semenik.
