Upgraded to 2.1.2

Emergency upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2

Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Not sure if I was affected, but better safe than sorry.

If your blog is running 2.1.1, please upgrade immediately and do a full overwrite of your old files, especially those in wp-includes. Check out your friends blogs and if any of them are running 2.1.1 drop them a note and, if you can, pitch in and help them with the upgrade.

If you are a web host or network administrator, block access to “theme.php” and “feed.php”, and any query string with “ix=” or “iz=” in it.

  1. Hey, ad, are you seeing anything strange since you upgraded to 2.1.2 with regards to Hemingweb 2.0 r3 (20061203)? Specifically:
    - image upload not working?
    - blogroll block broken?

    Thanks

  2. I have no problem with image upload, but I did have an issue with the blogroll block. To fix it, edit wp-content/themes/h2o/blocks/blogroll.php and change
    get_links_list(1, '<h2>', '</h2>')
    to just
    get_links_list()
    cheers ;-)
