Description David Walser 2019-12-29 05:13:37 CET

Upstream has announced version 1.31.4 on October 7:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2019-October/000236.html

It fixes one security issue.

Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 7 and Cauldron.

Advisory:
========================

Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerability:

MediaWiki through 1.33.1 allows attackers to bypass the Title_blacklist
protection mechanism by starting with an arbitrary title, establishing a
non-resolvable redirect for the associated page, and using redirect=1 in the
action API when editing that page (CVE-2019-19709).

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Followed wiki up o creating a new wiki and a new page in it (trick: there is no "New" button, just type a name in the search box, it will not find it, but then you can create it).
Works OK.
