Description David Walser 2020-07-08 00:41:19 CEST

Upstream has announced version 1.31.8 on June 24:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2020-June/000252.html

It fixes one security issue.

Fedora has issued an advisory for this on July 5:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/EEZIMLJMJS72SJXPYL736XMUAVCRQD2H/

Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 7 and Cauldron.

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

Updated mediawiki packages fix security vulnerability:

In MediaWiki before 1.31.8, private wikis behind a caching server using the
img_auth.php image authorization security feature may have had their files
cached publicly, so any unauthorized user could view them. This occurs because
Cache-Control and Vary headers were mishandled (CVE-2020-15005).

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Ref bug 25986.
Started httpd and mysqld and then followed wiki up to 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.
