This thread:
  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/37482
was last responded to by Ryan on Saturday.  Since then, some development
work has occured on WordPress in the form of SVN check-ins for Mark
Jaquith's get_id_by_permalink() work.

So, is there a confirmed vulnerability about which we should be
concerned?  If so:
* are there any mitigating circumstances to lessen the threat?
* are there any steps we can take to protect ourselves until an official
update is released?

I'm not trying to be a gadfly; and I'm not trying to rush anything
along.  But I _would_ want to see that thread marked "resolved", so that
regular folks don't worry that 'nothing happens' with regard to
WordPress security.
