Description
According to its version number, the version of Mediawiki installed
on the remote host is vulnerable to a data corruption bug involving
the submission handling routine when faced with malformed URLs.
Under certain circumstances, this may corrupt the previous revision
in the database. A spam bot known to be active in the wild reportedly
can trigger this issue.
In addition, the application suffers from a cross-site scripting
vulnerability due to its failure to sanitize user input for HTML
inline style attributes.
