Here, the CVE abstraction for the main issue seems clear, so we are
assigning:

  CVE-2013-5576 - incomplete validation of $format in media.php in
                  Joomla! 1.5.x (before a certain unofficial patch),
                  2.x before 2.5.14, and 3.x before 3.1.5

The above tracker_item_id=31626 reference has other statements about
1.5.x security that might (or might not) be assigned other CVEs later.
For example:

  Adddate: 2013-08-01 16:35:29
    There seems, though, to be at least one more problem with the
    "media.php" file: the "defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access')"
    execution protection is missing.

  (The security relevance of this is disputed later in the same item.)
