The updated releases have been announced:

I'm not sure if they'll get a CVE:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/26/1

We'll see what happens with that.  For now, the updated packages are built and uploaded and can be tested.

Created attachment 5218 [details]
mediawiki-math

Tested on Mageia 3 & 4 for both i586 & x86_64 archs with instances for mysql, postgresql and sqlite.

The mediawiki-ldapauthentication extension doesn't support sqlite, so tested that without ldap authentication. Mysql and postgresql are both supported by it, so tested them using ldap.

The mediawiki-math extension work using mathjax and without it, but one of the new tools, texvccheck, was not compiled while building the package. It's a security tool that filters out any spam or other badness that may have been injected into the markup beforehand.

The extention works without it, but there are complaints in the logs. I patched (this attachment) the spec, rebuilt and upgraded the package. No more compaints in the logs.

Comment 5 David Walser 2014-06-28 00:25:57 CEST
MITRE has contributed their two cents, so it really sounds like no CVE:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/27/18

I hadn't actually made an advisory for this one yet.

Advisory:
--------

This update provides MediaWiki 1.23.1, which provides several new features
and fixes a couple of minor bugs from 1.22.7.  The MediaWiki 1.23 branch is
a Long Term Support branch, so this update will provide a basis for more
stability for this package in the future.

The mediawiki-ldapauthentication and mediawiki-math packages have been
updated to versions that are compatible with MediaWiki 1.23.
