Could someone please update the advisory in SVN?

Advisory:
========================

Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerabilities:

In MediaWiki before 1.23.7, a missing CSRF check could allow reflected XSS
on wikis that allow raw HTML (CVE-2014-9276).

MediaWiki's <cross-domain-policy> mangling, in MediaWiki before 1.23.7,
could allow an article editor to inject code into API consumers that blindly
unserialize PHP representations of the page from the API (CVE-2014-9277).

This update provides MediaWiki 1.23.7, which fixes these security issues and
other bugs.
