CVE-2013-2031

Gentoo Linux < 1.19.5 - XSS

Title source: rule

Description

MediaWiki before 1.19.6 and 1.20.x before 1.20.5 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated by a CDATA section containing valid UTF-7 encoded sequences in a SVG file, which is then incorrectly interpreted as UTF-8 by Chrome and Firefox.
