Descriptions

MediaWiki 1.8.1, and other versions before 1.13.3, when the wgShowExceptionDetails variable is enabled, sometimes provides the full installation path in a debugging message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified requests that trigger an uncaught exception.

MediaWiki versión 1.8.1, y otras versiones anteriores a 1.13.3, cuando la variable wgShowExceptionDetails está habilitada, a veces proporciona el path de instalación completa en un mensaje de depuración, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes remotos conseguir información confidencial por medio de peticiones no especificadas que desencadenan una excepción no detectada.
