WordPress 3.0.4 Critical Update

Got this mail from Matt Mullenweg half an hour ago:

Quote:

First off, happy holidays.

I hope this time of the year, chilly for many of you, has given you time to enjoy family, friends, and loved ones and reflect on the year before and the year to come.

My last message to you this year is an important but unfortunate one: we've fixed a pretty critical vulnerability in WordPress' core HTML sanitation library, and because this library is used lots of places it's important that everyone update as soon as possible.

I realize an update during the holidays is no fun, but this one is worth putting down the eggnog for. In the spirit of the holidays, consider helping your friends as well.

You can update in your dashboard, on the "updates" tab, or download the latest WordPress here:

WordPress › Download

The official release announcement is here:

WordPress › 3.0.4 Important Security Update

Merry WordPressing in 2011,

Just passing this along because am not sure if everyone running a WordPress site got this mail.
