 Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
 setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
 
+== MediaWiki 1.9.3 ==
+
+February 20, 2007
+
+This is a security and bug-fix update to the Winter 2007 quarterly release.
+Minor compatibility fixes for IIS and PostgreSQL are included.
+
+An XSS injection vulnerability based on Microsoft Internet Explorer's UTF-7
+charset autodetection was located in the AJAX support module, affecting MSIE
+users on MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax is
+enabled.
+
+If you are using an extension based on the optional Ajax module,
+either disable it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:
+
+* 1.9: fixed in 1.9.3
+* 1.8: fixed in 1.8.4
+* 1.7: fixed in 1.7.3
+* 1.6: fixed in 1.6.10
+
+There is no known danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.
+
+* (bug 8992) Fix a remaining raw use of REQUEST_URI in history
+* (bug 8984) Fix a database error in Special:Recentchangeslinked
+  when using the PostgreSQL database.
+* Add 'charset' to Content-Type headers on various HTTP error responses
+  to forestall additional UTF-7-autodetect XSS issues. PHP sends only
+  'text/html' by default when the script didn't specify more details,
+  which some inconsiderate browsers consider a license to autodetect
+  the deadly, hard-to-escape UTF-7.
+    This fixes an issue with the Ajax interface error message on MSIE when
+  $wgUseAjax is enabled (not default configuration); this UTF-7 variant
+  on a previously fixed attack vector was discovered by Moshe BA from BugSec:
+  http://www.bugsec.com/articles.php?Security=24
+* Trackback responses now specify XML content type
+
