WordPress 2.0.1 Remote DoS Exploit.

Yes.
This has already been flagged to the hackers list.

The above tries some sort of repeated registration.
If you do not allow people to register, delete the file ‘wp-register.php’
That will sort you out.

If you have mod_security and know what this means, use it:
SecFilterSelective
"THE_REQUEST" "wp-register.php"
"id:1004,deny,log,status:412"
#SecFilterRemove 1004

Further advice will follow.

But the sky isn’t falling, no-one need panic and the right people will sort this.

podz many thanks for prompt reply and your time.

Could you clarify if using mod-security method will allow legitimate registeration requests?

>the right people will sort this.
Never doubted ??

I don’t know.
Right now I would stop registrations if I had them active on my blog, but I don’t know if that is the actual answer that Matt & Co. will give.

>I would stop registrations if I had them active
Will do that. Thanks again for your time.
