MT’s article may be found here.
They have issued a fixed mt-send-entry.cgi file (the file affected). All the MT users hosting here at Blog Househave been upgraded. I decided it would be easier just to upgrade everyone than to bug you to do it.
However, MT recommends that if you are not using the send-entry option that you remove that file entirely. I would second their recommendation, since their upgrade is more secure but not completely secure.
Many thanks to Wizbang for the warning.
