WordPress 2.6.3 Available
Another security hole found and fixed in WordPress. New patch is available with WordPress 2.6.3.
A vulnerability in the Snoopy library was announced today. WordPress uses Snoopy to fetch the feeds shown in the Dashboard. Although this seems to be a low risk vulnerability for WordPress users, we wanted to get an update out immediately. 2.6.3 is available for download right now. If you don’t want to download the whole release to get the security fix, you can download the following two files and copy them over your 2.6.2 installation.

As Matt Asay writes on his Open Road blog, “while this doesn’t technically make Microsoft a distributor of these open-source ‘bits’, it comes pretty darn close.”
While it’s good to see Microsoft recognising yet more open source projects, as it has done with Apache and JQuery, it is still worrying to see that the behind the scenes Microsoft’s lawyers have still not toned down talk of suing open source companies for “patent infringements”.
In an interview with CNet, Microsoft intellectual property lawyer, Horacio Gutierrez, issued veiled threats that if companies such as Red Hat didn’t sign licensing agreements with Microsoft along the lines of the Novell pact, court action could be in their future: “If every effort to license proves not to be fruitful, ultimately we have a responsibility to customers that have licenses and to our shareholders to ensure our intellectual property is respected,” he said.
