Summary
Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerability
Details

XSS vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.22.7, due to usernames on Special:PasswordReset being parsed as wikitext. The username on Special:PasswordReset can be supplied by anyone and will be parsed with wgRawHtml enabled. Since Special:PasswordReset is whitelisted by default on private wikis, this could potentially lead to an XSS crossing a privilege boundary (CVE-2014-3966).
