Missing icon since Mediawiki 1.35.1 upgrade
by Jeffrey Walton 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Hi Everyone, Our Logo has gone missing since Mediawiki 1.35.1 upgrade (from Mediawiki 1.35.0). We get an image that says "Set the $wgLogos with the URL path to your own logo image". Also see https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Main_Page. For Mediawiki 1.35.0 and earlier, we simply used $wgLogo. Things worked well with $wgLogo. At Mediawiki 1.35.1 we lost it, so we stopped using $wgLogo. Now we use $wgLogos per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/includes/D…: $ cat LocalSettings.php ... $wgLogos = [ "1x" => "$wgScriptPath/resources/assets/wiki.png" ]; The logo is still located at resources/assets/wiki.png, and it is 135x135. That has not changed. # cd <.../mediawiki> # ls resources/assets/wiki.png resources/assets/wiki.png Any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks.

by Sam Reed 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

The 1.31.12 version fixes the issue with the backports in the 1.31.11 release. The patches linked here need applying on top of the previous patches for 1.31.11. See the previous email for those patches. The full downloads here contain all the previous fixes from the security and maintenance release. Once again, I apologise for the inconvenience of the issues with the previous release. ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.12.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.12.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.31.11): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.12.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.12.tar.gz… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.12.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.12.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html

Security and maintenance release: 1.31.11 / 1.35.1
by Sam Reed 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.31.11 and 1.35.1! These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches. Numerous fixes have been backported into 1.35, including some for PHP 8.0 support (though we are not declaring full PHP 8.0 support yet). T268894 doesn't apply to MediaWiki 1.31, as the code was added in 1.35. Also, only one of the two fixes of T268938 apply to MediaWiki 1.31, as the code was not added until MediaWiki 1.33. While tarballs have already been uploaded, git tags will follow later on today. An "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" email will follow this one. == Security fixes == * (T268894, CVE-2020-35474) SECURITY: Message recentchanges-legend-watchlistexpiry can contain raw html. * (T268917, CVE-2020-35475) SECURITY: Messages userrights-expiry-current and userrights-expiry-none can contain raw html. * (T268938, CVE-2020-35478, CVE-2020-35479) SECURITY: BlockLogFormatter can output raw html. * (T205908, CVE-2020-35477) SECURITY: Unable to change visibility of log entries when MediaWiki:Mainpage uses Special:MyLanguage. * (T120883, CVE-2020-35480) SECURITY: Divergent behavior for contributions and user pages of hidden users and missing users. == Links to all mentioned tasks == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268894 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268917 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268938 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T205908 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120883 == Release notes == Full release notes for 1.31.11: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_31/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.31 Full release notes for 1.35.1: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_35/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.35 For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.11.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.11.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.31.10): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.11.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-core-1.31.11.tar.gz… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.11.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.31/mediawiki-1.31.11.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.1.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.1.tar.gz Patch to previous version (1.35.0): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.1.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.1.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.1.patch.gz.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html

Should the webserver have access to maintenance directory?
by Jeffrey Walton 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

Hi Everyone, Forgive my ignorance... Should the webserver have access to the maintenance/ directory? The reason I ask is, I run scripts from maintenance/ manually, like update.php. But it is not clear to me if the webserver should be running anything on its own. Jeff

Security pre-release announcement: 1.31.11 / 1.35.1
by Sam Reed 17 Dec '20

17 Dec '20

Hi all, Tomorrow we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all supported branches of MediaWiki. The new releases will be: - 1.31.11 - 1.35.1 This will resolve 5 issues in MediaWiki core (1 of which isn't applicable to MediaWiki 1.31 at all), and also includes some fixes previously committed to git, including minor security and hardening patches along with bug fixes included for maintenance reasons. We will make the fixes available in these respective release branches, and also master. Tarballs will be available for the above mentioned point releases as well. A summary of some of the security fixes that have gone into non-bundled MediaWiki extensions will also follow. As per the MediaWiki Version lifecycle [1], November 2020 was the scheduled EOL date for the REL1_34. MediaWiki 1.35.1 will be supported until at least September 2023, and would be the recommended upgrade path for anyone still using 1.34. [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle

Fatal error: Interface 'MediaWiki\Hook\TestCanonicalRedirectHook' not found in /var/www/html/w/includes/HookContainer/HookRunner.php on line 22
by Jeffrey Walton 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Hi Everyone, I'm working on a Mediawiki 1.34 to 1.35 migration. The migration is mostly complete. I'm having trouble connecting to the wiki after a restart. https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/ results in: Fatal error: Interface 'MediaWiki\Hook\TestCanonicalRedirectHook' not found in /var/www/html/w/includes/HookContainer/HookRunner.php on line 22 This is a new issue for us. We did not experience it in previous versions of Mediawiki. I think the problem may be caused by this in our maintenance script (https://github.com/weidai11/website/blob/master/mediawiki/update-wiki.sh#L61): # Remove all test frameworks in production. IFS= find "$WIKI_DIR" -iname 'test*' -print | while read -r dir do rm -rf "$dir" 2>/dev/null done We don't want the additional attack surface on a production server. Would someone please advise how to remove the unwanted testing gear? Jeff

Mediawiki 1.35 download missing warnings and notes
by Jeffrey Walton 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Hi Everyone, There are two warnings and one note on the Mediawiki 1.35 page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35. One warning and one note is missing from the Mediawiki 1.35 download page at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download. I don't know how to add the warning and note to the Mediawiki download page. It is coming from a template from an unknown location [to me]. Jeff

MediaWiki 1.34 is End of Life
by Sam Reed 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

As per the MediaWiki version lifecycle,[1] I would like to announce the formal end of life (EOL) of MediaWiki 1.34 as of today, Monday November 30, 2020. This means that MediaWiki 1.34 will no longer receive maintenance or security backports. It is therefore strongly discouraged that you continue to use it. It is recommended to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35, the current Long Term Support (LTS) version which is not due to become EOL until September 2023. The legacy Long Term Support version of MediaWiki, MediaWiki 1.31, is older and downgrading is not supported. MediaWiki 1.35 bumps the required PHP version from 7.2.9 in 1.34 (which is unsupported upstream), to PHP 7.3.19 or later. Thanks! Sam Reed [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle
