## Description

MediaWiki 1.22.x before 1.22.2, 1.21.x before 1.21.5, and 1.19.x before
1.19.11, when DjVu or PDF file upload support is enabled, allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in (1) the
page parameter to includes/media/DjVu.php; (2) the w parameter (aka width
field) to thumb.php, which is not properly handled by
includes/media/PdfHandler\_body.php; and possibly unspecified vectors in (3)
includes/media/Bitmap.php and (4) includes/media/ImageHandler.php.
