* SECURITY UPDATE: MediaWiki was found to be vulnerable to login CSRF. An
  attacker who controls a user account on the target wiki can force the
  victim to login as the attacker, via a script on an external website.
  IMPORTANT: Fix includes a breaking change to the API login action. Any
  clients using it will need to be updated. (LP: #557159)
  - debian/patches/CSRF-no-CVE_rev-64680.patch
  - patch based on upstream SVN rev. 64680

* SECURITY UPDATE:
  - CVE-2008-5249
  - CVE-2008-5250
  - CVE-2008-5252
  - other security-related problems (see full patch description).
  - patch taken directly from Debian
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508870
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508869

* debian/patches/CVE-2008-5249_CVE-2008-5250_CVE-2008-5252.patch:
  - Fixed output escaping for reporting of non-MediaWiki exceptions.
    Potential XSS if an extension throws one of these with user input.
  - Avoid fatal error in profileinfo.php when not configured.
  - Fixed CSRF vulnerability in Special:Import. Fixed input validation in
    transwiki import feature.
  - Add a .htaccess to deleted images directory for additional protection
    against exposure of deleted files with known SHA-1 hashes on default
    installations.
  - Fixed XSS vulnerability for Internet Explorer clients, via file uploads
    which are interpreted by IE as HTML.
  - Fixed XSS vulnerability for clients with SVG scripting, on wikis where SVG
    uploads are enabled. Firefox 1.5+ is affected.
  - Avoid streaming uploaded files to the user via index.php. This allows
    security-conscious users to serve uploaded files via a different domain,
    and thus client-side scripts executed from that domain cannot access the
    login cookies. Affects Special:Undelete, img_auth.php and thumb.php.
  - When streaming files via index.php, use the MIME type detected from the
    file extension, not from the data. This reduces the XSS attack surface.
  - Blacklist redirects via Special:Filepath. Such redirects exacerbate any
    XSS vulnerabilities involving uploads of files containing scripts.

   to an unspecified component. (LP: #290015)
   - debian/patches/CVE-2008-4408.patch: Address XSS vulnerability. Based on
     upstream/Debian patch.
