## Description

thumb.php in MediaWiki before 1.15.2, when used with access-restriction
mechanisms such as img\_auth.php, does not check user permissions before
providing scaled images, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended
access restrictions and read private images via unspecified manipulations.
