That shouldn't be a problem; CVE IDs can be requested in advance
via this web form: https://cve.mitre.org/cve/request_id.html

(In the past this was done via an email address, but they recently
streamlined the process)

Cheers,

Hi,

Somewhat related, in the last MediaWiki security release, the bugs
already have CVE numbers assigned to them. Would it be possible to get
CVE ids for extension security issues in advance as well?

[Wikitech-l] [SECURITY] Math extension - shell invocation followup

2017-01-20 Thread Chad
Hi all,

In the process of the previous security release, T124940 was fixed in
core MediaWiki (it deals with unacceptably long shell inputs). There was
also a related fix in Math that I just noticed had never been released--even
thought it was disclosed (with a patch) on the task in question.

It's been published to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/09/ (for
master)
and is being backported to all supported branches (1.28.x, 1.27.x, 1.23.x)

This isn't an extension we bundle in core MW which explains the oversight.

-Chad
