Bug ID: 44142
Summary: mcrypt_rand_iv() not reliable with MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM
on Windows
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20.2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Installer

Upstream bug is https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52523 but I experienced this
today with PHP 5.3.5 on a host where phpinfo reports the system is "Windows NT
A1-WHW-B69 6.0 build 6002 (Windows Server 2008 Web Server Edition Service Pack
2) i586"
Webserver died with a fatal error during installation:
PHP Fatal error: mcrypt_create_iv() [<a
href='function.mcrypt-create-iv'>function.mcrypt-create-iv</a>]:
Could not gather sufficient random data in
E:\...\Web\includes\CryptRand.php on line 309
As far as I could tell, There was no way to work around this or even see if the
error would pop up in the code, so I had to hack CryptRand.php so that
MCRYPT_RAND was used instead of MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM.
Only then could installation complete.
