Security release 1.27.3 and 1.28.2
by Chad Horohoe 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the immediate availability of security releases 1.27.3 and 1.28.2. Due to a mistake in packaging, the releases 1.27.2 and 1.28.1 did not contain the fix for SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. This new release does contain that fix. The task in question: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158689 If you are not running this extension, you do not necessarily need to upgrade. Thanks, and I apologize for any confusion in the matter.

1.23.17 bugfix release
by Chad Horohoe 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.23.17. There was an issue in the 1.23.16 release that prevented it from running on PHP 5.3 installations. Considering the report wasn't very widespread, I'm guessing most people haven't been affected yet. If you are, this release will fix it. Apologies for any issues you may have encountered during your upgrade. The updated links can be found below: Full release notes for 1.23.17: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.23> ********************************************************************** 1.23.17 ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.17.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-core-1.23.17.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.23.16):: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.17.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-core-1.23.17.tar.gz… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.17.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.17.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html

Security Release: 1.28.1 / 1.27.2 / 1.23.16
by Chad Horohoe 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello! I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.28.1, 1.27.2 and 1.23.16! These releases fix five security issues in core and one for the extension SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi. Download links are given at the end of this email. Please note that next month is the End-Of-Life date for MediaWiki 1.23. This means that MediaWiki 1.23.16 will be the last security release for that version, barring any unforeseen issues. We would strongly encourage users of MediaWiki 1.23 to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.27, released in June 2016, or a yet newer version as soon as possible. MediaWiki 1.27 will be supported until June 2019. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle> for more information. This release also serves as a maintenance release for these branches. == Security fixes == * (T109140) (T122209) Special:UserLogin and Special:Search allow redirect to interwiki links. (CVE-2017-0363, CVE-2017-0364) * (T144845) XSS in SearchHighlighter::highlightText() when $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting is true.

(CVE-2017-0369) The following only affects 1.27 and above and is not included in the 1.23 upgrade: * (T161453) LocalisationCache will no longer use the temporary directory in its fallback chain when trying to work out where to write the cache. (CVE-2017-0367) The following fix is for the SyntaxHighlight extension: * (T158689) Parameters injection in SyntaxHighlight results in multiple vulnerabilities.
