Debian Bug : 670124

Several vulnerabilities were identified in WordPress, a web blogging
tool. As the CVEs were allocated from releases announcements and
specific fixes are usually not identified, it has been decided to
upgrade the WordPress package to the latest upstream version instead
of backporting the patches.

This means extra care should be taken when upgrading, especially when
using third-party plugins or themes, since compatibility may have been
impacted along the way. We recommend that users check their install
before doing the upgrade.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), those problems have been fixed in
version 3.3.2+dfsg-1~squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), those problems have been fixed in version 3.3.2+dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.

Here’s a simple script to install on a server to keep the GeoIP db updated.

Source code for file (e.g.) get_latest_GeoIP.sh

#!/bin/bash
# getting the latest GeoLiteCity database from maxmind
host=$(hostname -s)
stamp=`date +"%m%Y"` # getting current month & year for GeoLiteCity filename
if [ -f "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat" ]; then
  last=`date -r /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat +"%m%Y"`
else
  last=0000
fi
if [ ! -f "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat" ] || [ "$stamp" != "$last" ]; then # if current file doesn't exist or current file wasn't modified in the current month
  wget -O "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz" http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
  if [ ! -s "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz" ]; then
    rm /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
    exit 1
  else
    rm /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat
    gunzip /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
    if [ -f "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat" ]; then
      rm /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat
    fi
      mv /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat"
      ln -s "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity_"$stamp".dat" /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat
      echo "Report: GeoIP Database "$stamp" has been updated on "$host". - Enjoy!"
  fi
fi
exit

… now just install a cronjob, that checks withn the first days of the month, whether there is a fresh GeoIP db to fetch.

It’s a feature, not a bug!! 😛

Langeweile kann tödlich sein. Vor Allem in einer Gesellschaft, in der es per Gesetz verboten ist, sich zu langweilen. Die Strafen sind hart: Wer auf einer Party beim Gähnen erwischt wird, wandert ins Gefängnis. Wer Anderen den Spass verdirbt, wandert in die Todeszelle.
