Source: mediawiki Version: 1:1.31.1-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream
Dear maintainers, MediaWiki 1.31.1 appears to have some incompatibilities with PHP 7.3 which is in Buster. Uploading files, such as images, leads to a UploadStashBadPathException presented on the web interface, and the server logs include the following PHP warning: PHP message: PHP Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 4 in /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/upload/UploadStash.php on line 247 Some searching suggests this is caused by a broken regex that PHP 7.3 no longer silently accepts: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Utp24qj8pnmpah8p https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215632 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/core/+/467546/ This will apparently be fixed in MediaWiki 1.31.2 when that's released, but given that file uploads appear to be non-functional it may be worth carrying a patch locally for the Buster release or soon after.
