Product : Fedora 17
Version : 0.13.5
Release : 1.fc17
URL : http://pediapress.com/code/
Summary : MediaWiki parser and utility library
Description :
mwlib provides a library for parsing MediaWiki articles and converting them to
different output formats. mwlib is used by Wikipedia's "Print/export" feature
in order to generate PDF documents from Wikipedia articles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update to version 0.13.5, which solves the following issues:
It was reported that mwlib suffered from a flaw that could allow a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack on a mwlib installation by forcing it to parse a specially-crafted #iferror magic function. This issue has been resolved in version 0.13.5.
syntaxhighlight nodes are supported properly in version 0.13.5.
