 1.19.23

Hi

New security releases for Mediawiki (1.24.1, 1.23.8, 1.22.15 and 1.19.23) were
announced:

https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2014-December/000173.html

> == Security fixes in 1.24.1, 1.23.8, 1.22.15 and 1.19.23 ==
> * (bug T76686) [SECURITY] thumb.php outputs wikitext message as raw HTML,
>   which could lead to xss. Permission to edit MediaWiki namespace is required
>   to exploit this.
> * (bug T77028) [SECURITY] Malicious site can bypass CORS restrictions in
>   $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains in API calls if it only included an allowed domain as
>   part of its name.

Could CVE's be assigned for these two issues?
