-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
Recent Comments module provides a high-performance, fully themable block of
recent comments. This release includes a fix for a cross-site scripting (XSS
[1]) vulnerability in which JavaScript could be inserted in the title of the
Recent Comments block via a custom block title interface. This custom title
interface has been removed, as Drupal 5.x and later allow overriding the a
block's title from its configuration screen.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Recent
Comments module, there is nothing you need to do.
