[MediaWiki-announce] Security and maintenance release: 1.35.14 / 1.39.6 / 1.40.2

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.35.14, 1.39.6 and 1.40.2! These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches. The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this email, and the git tags have been pushed. The fix was included in 1.41.0-rc.0, and therefore will be in 1.41.0, which is expected to follow this announcement. Unfortunately at the time of finalising this release, the CVE has not been assigned a tracking number by MITRE. To get these releases out as detailed in the pre-release announcement, they are therefore documented as "CVE-2023-PENDING" here and in the commit messages of the commits that will be pushed. The related tasks will be updated in retrospect when the CVEs are issued, and we will also amend the RELEASE-NOTES files. They will then be retrospectively correctly documented in the next releases, and in HISTORY in the master branch of MediaWiki core. The fix for T347726 was actually merged in public, independent of the security bug report. A "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions. Various patches aimed at PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 support have been back-ported. Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.3_support/ for the relevant work boards. As a reminder, when 1.35 was released, it was originally due to become end of life (EOL) at the end of September 2023. Due to 1.39 being released late (November 2022), and to honor the commitment to the 1 year overlap of MediaWiki LTS releases, this formal EOL process is being delayed till at least the end of November 2023. It is therefore expected that this 1.35.14 will become the final release for the 1.35 branch, and 1.35 will formally become end of life after this email. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to either 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35), which will be supported until November 2025, 1.40, which will be supported until June 2024, or 1.41, which will be supported until December 2024. == Security fixes == * (T347726, CVE-2023-PENDING) SECURITY: group-.*-member messages are not properly escaped on Special:log/rights. == Links to all mentioned tasks == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347726 == Release notes == Full release notes for 1.35.14: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_35/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.35 Full release notes for 1.39.6: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_39/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.39 Full release notes for 1.40.2: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_40/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.40 For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.14.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.14.zip Patch to previous version (1.35.13): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.14.tar.gz… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.14.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.14.patch.zip.s… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.6.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.6.zip Patch to previous version (1.39.5): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.6.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.6.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.6.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-core-1.40.2.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-core-1.40.2.zip Patch to previous version (1.40.1): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-core-1.40.2.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-core-1.40.2.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.40/mediawiki-1.40.2.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html
