+## Malformed UTF-8 DOS
+
+Feeding ikiwiki page sources containing certian forms of malformed UTF-8
+can cause it to crash. This can potentially be used for a denial of service
+attack.
+
+intrigeri discovered this problem on 12 Nov 2008 and a patch put in place
+later that day, in version 2.70. The fix was backported to testing as version
+2.53.3, and to stable as version 1.33.7.

+## Insufficient blacklisting in teximg plugin
+
+Josh Triplett discovered on 28 Aug 2009 that the teximg plugin's
+blacklisting of insecure TeX commands was insufficient; it could be
+bypassed and used to read arbitrary files. This was fixed by
+enabling TeX configuration options that disallow unsafe TeX commands.
+The fix was released on 30 Aug 2009 in version 3.1415926, and was
+backported to stable in version 2.53.4. If you use the teximg plugin,
+I recommend upgrading. ([[!cve CVE-2009-2944]])

+## javascript insertion via svg uris
+
+Ivan Shmakov pointed out that the htmlscrubber allowed `data:image/*` urls,
+including `data:image/svg+xml`. But svg can contain javascript, so that is
+unsafe.
+
+This hole was discovered on 12 March 2010 and fixed the same day
+with the release of ikiwiki 3.20100312.
+A fix was also backported to Debian etch, as version 2.53.5. I recommend
+upgrading to one of these versions if your wiki can be edited by third
+parties.
+
+## javascript insertion via insufficient htmlscrubbing of comments
+
+Kevin Riggle noticed that it was not possible to configure
+`htmlscrubber_skip` to scrub comments while leaving unscubbed the text
+of eg, blog posts. Confusingly, setting it to "* and !comment(*)" did not
+scrub comments.
+
+Additionally, it was discovered that comments' html was never scrubbed during
+preview or moderation of comments with such a configuration.
+
+These problems were discovered on 12 November 2010 and fixed the same
+hour with the release of ikiwiki 3.20101112. ([[!cve CVE-2010-1673]])

+## javascript insertion via insufficient checking in comments
+
+Dave B noticed that attempting to comment on an illegal page name could be

+
+This hole was discovered on 22 Jan 2011 and fixed the same day with
+the release of ikiwiki 3.20110122. A fix was backported to Debian squeeze,

+## possible javascript insertion via insufficient htmlscrubbing of alternate stylesheets
+
+Giuseppe Bilotta noticed that 'meta stylesheet` directives allowed anyone

+
+This hole was discovered on 28 Mar 2011 and fixed the same hour with
