  * SECURITY UPDATE: A CSRF vulnerability was discovered in our login
    interface. Although regular logins are protected as of 1.15.3, it was
    discovered that the account creation and password reset features were not
    protected from CSRF. This could lead to unauthorised access to private
    wikis. (LP: #586773)
    - debian/patches/CSRF-Special-Userlogin-no-CVE_rev-66991.patch
    - patch from upstream SVN rev. 66991

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Noncompliant CSS parsing behaviour in Internet Explorer
    allows attackers to construct CSS strings which are treated as safe by
    previous versions of MediaWiki, but are decoded to unsafe strings by
    Internet Explorer. (LP: #586773)
