EDIT: This release is a replacement for 1.4.4-pl3 which had an issue 
discovered shortly after release.

Jim Paris discovered a few security problems in Gallery which have been 
addressed in 1.4.4-pl4. The primary problem is a cross site scripting 
vulnerability which allows code to be inserted into a Gallery by using 
specially formed URLs. This code then appears to be part of the Gallery.

No risk is posed to the webserver-itself or any non-Gallery data, but a 
Gallery install could be compromised using appropriate code.

All Gallery users are very strongly urged to upgrade to 1.4.4-pl4 
immediately, which fixes this serious problem and will secure your system.

Gallery 1.4.4-pl3 can be downloaded from the 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7130>Gallery 
Download Page.
