Wordpress 2.8.5
 |
The Wordpress developers have released version 2.8.5 of their popular blogging software. The version is considered a security upgrade and therefor mandatory for all Wordpress blog owners who run their own Wordpress blog (but not those running a blog at Wordpress.com).
The most important changes in Wordpress 2.8.5 are therefor:
- Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
- Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
- A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.
- Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.
Wordpress blogs are currently not announcing the new release. It is expected that this will change in the next hours so that the automatic update option becomes available for Wordpress webmasters who use it to update their website. Webmasters who manually update their blog can visit the Wordpress page to download the latest version of Wordpress. Additional information about the security release are available in the blog post that announced the upgrade.
