The WordPress development team has released version 2.6.5 of the blogging plattform for download. The release fixes one security update and three bugs and can be downloaded from the official WordPress website.
Alternatively only the files wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php can be copied from the new release over the old files to update the blog. The security vulnerability is unlikely to affect a large number of WordPress blogs though as it only only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x.
There might also be some confusion about the versioning of WordPress. The last official WordPress version was WordPress 2.6.3. WordPress 2.6.4 was skipped because of a fake malicious release that made its round. The official new release is therefor WordPress 2.6.5.
