CVE-2008-5688

Publication date 19 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

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.
