  - (bug T85848, bug T71210) SECURITY: Don't parse XMP
    blocks that contain XML entities, to prevent various DoS
    attacks.

    - (bug T85848) SECURITY: Don't allow directly calling
      Xml::isWellFormed, to reduce likelihood of DoS.

    - (bug T88310) SECURITY: Always expand xml entities when
      checking SVG's.

    - (bug T73394) SECURITY: Escape > in
      Html::expandAttributes to prevent XSS.

    - (bug T85855) SECURITY: Don't execute another user's
      CSS or JS on preview.

    - (bug T85349, bug T85850, bug T86711) SECURITY:
      Multiple issues fixed in SVG filtering to prevent XSS
      and protect viewer's privacy.

    - (bug T70087) Fix Special:ActiveUsers page for
      installations using PostgreSQL.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
