I suggest you PunBB. It is really great. It's fast, clean and I donno what else but I like it :)

I donno about security issues but I know that quite a few updates are security-related. As soon as a vulnerability is discovered it is fixed with a new release.

However, there will be a new, bigger release hopefully soon, 1.3, which will include a lot of changes, the first to mention is full utf8 support everywhere.

Anyway, utf8 is also possible right now, I setted up a test environment here:
http://viktor.podzone.org:8080/upload/
It uses utf8, I just had to convert the translation files (I'm punbb's translator :P) to unicode and voila, it works.
