 Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals

+
+MediaWiki 1.3.9 is a security and bug fix release.
+
+A flaw in upload handling has been found which may allow upload and 
+execution of arbitrary scripts with the permissions of the web server.
+Only wikis that have enabled uploads and have a vulnerable Apache 
+configuration will be affected, but to be safe all wikis should upgrade.
+
+Wikis with uploads available should either disable uploads or upgrade to
+1.3.9 immediately; if other files are customized and require merging 
+changes, includes/SpecialUpload.php may be replaced individually to add
+the fix.
+
+(It is also recommended to configure your web server to disable script
+execution in the 'images' subdirectory where uploads are placed, which
+prevents most attacks even if the wiki fails.)
