Comment:

 maybe umask is missing here as well (see #10170)?

 aditionally there is not much way to check for mod_security or at least
 for the specific configuration that perevents on certain hosts.

 to tell you the truth: worksforme. I have wordpress blogs on hosts with
 mod_security enabled and no problems. This is a server configuration thing
 so please check your mod_security settings or disable it via .htaccess:


 {{{
 <IfModule mod_security.c>
 <Files async-upload.php>
 SecFilterEngine Off
 SecFilterScanPOST Off
 </Files>
 </IfModule>
 }}}

 Logentry of the check enabled in mod_security that prevented file uploads
 on one host (as only one sole person has reported the real details in her
 case):

 As reported, this is works for me, I have zero/nada/no problem with
 mod_security and swfupload. Can please someone provide a detailed testcase
 to reproduce this so that it can be actually confirmed?
