MediaWiki 1.14.0 and 1.13.5 released
by Tim Starling 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are proud to announce the first stable release of the 2009 Q1 branch of MediaWiki, version 1.14.0. We are also releasing MediaWiki 1.13.5. This is a maintenance release which corrects some bugs in the installer, introduced during the hasty security release of 1.13.4. It is not necessary to upgrade if you do not intend on using the installer. Thanks to our localisation community at translatewiki.net, MediaWiki 1.14.0 now has 311,000 localised interface text fragments spread across 298 languages, that's 17% more than in 1.13.0. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia. Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature developments will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.

MediaWiki releases: security update and new major branch
by Tim Starling 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a security release of 1.13.4, 1.12.4 and 1.6.12. A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilities were discovered in the web-based installer (config/index.php). These vulnerabilities all require a live installer -- once the installer has been used to install a wiki, it is deactivated. Note that cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be used to attack any website in the same cookie domain. So if you have an uninstalled copy of MediaWiki on the same site as an active web service, MediaWiki could be used to attack the active service. If you are hosting an old copy of MediaWiki that you have never installed, we advise you to remove it from the web. Additionally, we are releasing 1.14.0rc1, the first release candidate of the 2009 Q1 branch. Brave souls are encouraged to download it and try it out. Note that we have disabled SQLite installation in 1.14, due to the incompleteness of the implementation. We intend to restore it in 1.15. We're not sure how many people are using SQLite, so contact us if our treatment of it is causing you problems.

Packaging errors in latest MediaWiki releases; release of MediaWiki 1.12.3
by Tim Starling 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Due to a packaging error, I've decided to increment the version number of the 1.12 branch for the purposes of repackaging. The 1.12.2 tarball was missing 135 out of 1256 distributed files. Also, note that the patch files that were released initially were missing includes/IEContentAnalyzer.php. If you try to run MediaWiki 1.13.3 or 1.12.3 without this file, uploads will not work. I have fixed this without incrementing the version number. The MediaWiki 1.13.3 .tar.gz file was correct -- if you are using that, you can ignore this notice. Fixed 1.13.3 patch: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.3.patch.gz You can also download the file that was missing file here: <http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/IEContentAn…> ********************************************************************** New 1.12.3 download: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-1.12.3.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.12.1), without interface text: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-1.12.3.patch.gz Interface text changes: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-i18n-1.12.3.patch.gz GPG signatures: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-1.12.3.tar.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-1.12.3.patch.gz.sig http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.12/mediawiki-i18n-1.12.3.patch.gz… Public keys: https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.html

MediaWiki 1.13.3, 1.12.2, 1.6.11 security update
by Tim Starling 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a security release of MediaWiki 1.13.3, 1.12.1 and 1.6.11. Some of the security issues affect *all* versions of MediaWiki except the versions released today, so all site administrators are encouraged to upgrade. Users of the development (trunk) branch should upgrade to r44506 or later. David Remahl of Apple's Product Security team has identified a number of security issues in MediaWiki. Subsequent analysis by the MediaWiki development team led to further discoveries. The issues with a significant impact are as follows: * An XSS vulnerability affecting all MediaWiki installations between 1.13.0 and 1.13.2. [CVE-2008-5249] * A local script injection vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer clients for all MediaWiki installations with uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] * A local script injection vulnerability affecting clients with SVG scripting capability (such as Firefox 1.5+), for all MediaWiki installations with SVG uploads enabled. [CVE-2008-5250] * A CSRF vulnerability affecting the Special:Import feature, for all MediaWiki installations since the feature was introduced in 1.3.0. [CVE-2008-5252] These four vulnerabilities are all fixed in these releases. XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities allow an attacker to steal an authorised user's login session, and to act as that user on the wiki. The authorised user must visit a web page controlled by the attacker in order to activate the attack. Intranet wikis are vulnerable if the attacker can determine the intranet URL. Local script injection vulnerabilities are like XSS vulnerabilities, except that the attacker must have an account on the local wiki, and there is no external site involved. The attacker uploads a script to the wiki, which another user is tricked into executing, with the effect that the attacker is able to act as the privileged user. CSRF vulnerabilities allow an attacker to act as an authorised user on the wiki, but unlike an XSS vulnerability, the attacker can only act as the user in a specific and restricted way. The present CSRF vulnerability allows pages to be edited, with forged revision histories. Like an XSS vulnerability, the authorised user must visit the malicious web page to activate the attack. David Remahl also reminded us of some security-related configuration issues: * Since 1.11, by default, MediaWiki stores a backup of deleted images in the images/deleted directory. If you do not want these images to be publically accessible, make sure this directory is not accessible from the web. MediaWiki takes some steps to avoid leaking these images, but these measures are not perfect. * Set display_errors=off in your php.ini to avoid path disclosure via PHP fatal errors. This is the default on most shared web hosts. * Enabling MediaWiki's debugging features, such as $wgShowExceptionDetails, may lead to path disclosure. Users of MediaWiki 1.6.x (the last branch which supported PHP 4) are strongly recommended to upgrade to PHP 5 and MediaWiki 1.13.3. It is not necessary to upgrade to 1.6.11 first, just upgrade directly to the latest version.

MediaWiki 1.13.2, 1.12.1 security update
by Tim Starling 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a security and bugfix release of MediaWiki 1.12 and MediaWiki 1.13. A vulnerability has been discovered which allows arbitrary HTML injection and thus possible user account compromise. The vulnerability is only present when $wgUseSiteCss is turned on, which is the default. Versions 1.11 and earlier are NOT vulnerable, nor is development branch later than July 28, 2008. Also, there was the potential for a subtle user error while editing $wgGroupPermissions in LocalSettings.php to cause all restrictions to be disabled. This has been rectified.

MediaWiki 1.13.0 released
by Tim Starling 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.13.0 is now available. MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia. MediaWiki 1.13.0 is our latest snapshot release, based on the development code from three weeks ago, with several bugfixes applied.
