> Greetings,

> MediaWiki 1.16.2 was just released as a security update for two
> vulnerabilities. One already has a CVE, but this one still needs one:
> 
> "An arbitrary script inclusion vulnerability was discovered. The
> vulnerability only allows execution of files with names ending in
> ".php" which are already present in the local filesystem. Only servers
> running Microsoft Windows and possibly Novell Netware are affected.
> Despite these mitigating factors, all users are advised to upgrade,
> since there is a risk of complete server compromise. MediaWiki 1.8.0
> and later is affected. For more details, see bug 27094"
