Description Robb Gatica 2024-04-02 02:58:49 UTC

Mediawiki security releases 1.39.7, 1.40.3 and 1.41.1. This includes a fix for a denial of service that occurs when a user opens Special:MovePage for a page containing a large number (tens of thousands) of subpages. Due to excessive queries used to create the list of subpages the maximum request time will be exceeded.
