Description Vincent Danen 2012-01-12 18:22:23 UTC
MediaWiki 1.17.2 and 1.18.1 were released to correct a security flaw in its API where prop=revisions would expose deleted text to unprivileged users through cache pollution.

MediaWiki 1.16 is no longer supported upstream, but this flaw does seem to affect that version, as per the code changes (r108682).
