Security vulnerabilities

Drupal 5.23, 6.18 and 6.19 were released in response to the discovery of security vulnerabilities. Details can be found in the official security advisory:

• SA-CORE-2010-002

To fix the security problem, please upgrade Drupal. We made two versions of Drupal 6 available, so you can choose to only include security fixes (Drupal 6.18) or security fixes and bugfixes (Drupal 6.19). You can choose your preferred version. We are trying to make it easier and quicker to roll out security updates by making security-only releases available as well as ones with bugfixes included. We hope this helps you roll out the fixes as soon as possible.
