CVE-2011-0537: Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in (1) languages/Language.php and (2) includes/StubObject.php...

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in (1) languages/Language.php and (2) includes/StubObject.php in MediaWiki 1.8.0 and other versions before 1.16.2, when running on Windows and possibly Novell Netware, allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files via vectors related to a crafted language file and the Language::factory function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

MediaWiki installations before 1.16.2 on Windows, and possibly Novell NetWare, could be tricked remotely into loading and running local PHP files through directory traversal in language handling. Impact depends on what local PHP files exist. Internet-facing legacy wiki servers on affected platforms should be treated as urgent exposure. Most likely exposure is old MediaWiki deployments below 1.16.2 on Windows, especially public wiki servers. Linux/Unix impact is not stated in the bundle, and NetWare is described only as possible. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing MediaWiki instance before 1.16.2 on Windows. This is a legacy but serious server-side code-execution risk; unsupported or forgotten wiki systems are the main business concern. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected MediaWiki installations to 1.16.2 or later.; Apply the referenced MediaWiki 1.16.2 patch if upgrade is constrained.; Review Wikimedia security release guidance before production changes..
