MediaWiki Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Vulnerability (CVE-2013-4303)

Description

includes/libs/IEUrlExtension.php in the MediaWiki API in MediaWiki 1.19.x before 1.19.8, 1.20.x before 1.20.7, and 1.21.x before 1.21.2 does not properly detect extensions when there are an even number of "."
