Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-11-29 13:13:06 UTC

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way MediaWiki, the wiki engine, processed 'curid' and 'oldid' request paramaters. A remote attacker could use this flaw to enumerate page titles on private MediaWiki installations.

Upstream bug report:

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way MediaWiki, the wiki engine, performed action=ajax requests dispatching to relevant internal functions.
