[Clipart] Site down because of wordpress vulnerability

[Jon Phillips]

I just got back from US 4th of July festivities to find this nicety.

(17:21:57) daniels: i've just disabled the clipart.fd.o site because it
runs wordpress, which has an xmlrpc vulnerability in it
(17:22:31) daniels: see
http://www.gulftech.org/?node=research&article_id=00088-07022005

UGH! Ok, so I'm chatting with Daniels about this on the channel. I don't
quite understand why he didn't just upgrade the xmlrpc code (which this
url says to do)...if we can't come to an agreement then I will disable
the use of wordpress on the site until the problem can be solved.
