Two hours ago WordPress 2.6.2 was committed. It's yet to be announced on the Development Blog but anyway, this is a very urgent mandatory upgrade. Let's all salute the responsiveness of the core team: version 2.6.2 was released about 5 hours after a critical bug affecting 2.6.1 was filed.
Upgrade!
just upgraded… thx for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up through twitter on this upgrade Ozh. All done and dusted, just as I like it.
I am happy with current 2.6.1 version but WordPress 2.6.2 contains a handful of bug fixes. I’ve just upgraded my blog to this new.
Are you talking about the ticket (#7710) that was already fixed a few days after the security post referenced was made? The fix really isn't mandatory unless you allow users to register.
Jacob Santos » this one, yes. I know it affects only blog with registration, but there has to be a lot of single user blogs with this option left enabled
