I’ve completed the update of my blog because my blog was under Trackback Denial-of-Service attack.
The process was simple, updated automatically after backup to be safe.
The headline changes in this release are:
- A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.
- Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
- Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
- Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.

Saw this update Yesterday and the first thing which I did
was Backup my Db and updated the wordpress. Though wordpress are releasing very quick update..
This is a nice release from Wordpress. DDOS attack via trackback relief is nice.I
am eagerly waiting for the new version Wordpress 2.9. It will be interesting to see
what will come out from the Wordpress box to its users.
