Hello everyone,
I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.22.3, 1.21.6 and 1.19.12. These releases fix a number of security related bugs that could affect users of MediaWiki. In addition, MediaWiki 1.22.3 is a maintenance release. It fixes several bugs. You can consult the RELEASE-NOTES-1.22 file for the full list of changes in this version. Download links are given at the end of this email.
== Security fixes == * (bug 60771) SECURITY: Disallow uploading SVG files using non-whitelisted namespaces. Also disallow iframe elements. User will get an error including the namespace name if they use a non- whitelisted namespace. * (bug 61346) SECURITY: Make token comparison use constant time. It seems like our token comparison would be vulnerable to timing attacks. This will take constant time. * (bug 61362) SECURITY: API: Don't find links in the middle of api.php links.
== Bug fixes in 1.22.3 ==
* (bug 53710) Add sequence support for upsert in DatabaseOracle in the same way as in selectInsert * (bug 60231, 58719) Various fixes to job running code in Wiki.php: Make it async on Windows. Fixed possible "invalid filename" errors on Windows. Redirect output to dev/null to avoid hanging PHP. * (bug 60083) Correct sequence name for fresh Postgres installation. Spotted by gebhkla * (bug 60531) Avoid variable naming conflicts in DatabasePostgres::selectSQLText. Spotted by gebhkla * (bug 60094) Fix rebuildall.php fatal error with PostgreSQL. The fix for 47055 introduced a fatal error when running rebuildall.php. This is a workaround suggested by gebhkla on Bugzilla. It just checks to make sure $options is actually an array before calling array_search on it. * (bug 43817c12) Add error handling if descriptionmsg isn't defined for extension. * (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex omits stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link.
