NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dokuwiki package and not the dokuwiki package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The default file type whitelist configuration in conf/mime.conf in the Media Manager in DokuWiki before 2014-09-29b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML by uploading an SWF file, then accessing it via the media parameter to lib/exe/fetch.php.
