Bug#578691: libmediawiki-perl: Security update of mediawiki will break login API

[Romain Beauxis]

Package: libmediawiki-perl
Version: 1.13-1
Severity: important
Tags: lenny upstream


Hi!

The wikipedia has released a security update of 
the 1.15 release branch of mediawiki that fixes an 
issue with the login code:
  http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2010-April/000090.html

We are planning to update the package in lenny
with a backport of these changes. However, this
change will break the libmediawiki-perl package
so a coordinated upload should be necessary.

The proposed patch against mediawiki 1.12.0-2lenny4 is 
attached to this report.

Romain
