NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mediawiki package and not the mediawiki package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 do not properly sanitize parameters when calling the cURL library, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an @ (at sign) character in unspecified POST array parameters.
