Ubuntu
wordpress package

is the precise Wordpress package (3.3.1) still getting security fixes?

Asked by Danny Yee

The last alert from Wordpress https://wordpress.org/news/2014/04/wordpress-3-8-2/ says "Sites that support automatic background updates will be updated to WordPress 3.8.2 within 12 hours. If you are still on WordPress 3.7.1, you will be updated to 3.7.2, which contains the same security fixes as 3.8.2. We don’t support older versions, so please update to 3.8.2 for the latest and greatest."

So it seems like the default 12.04 wordpress system is insecure.

I suggest you report a bug. Your question text will be good as the bug text tbh :-)

I can't seem to submit a bug here... Do I really have to go to the Wordpress trac to request an Ubuntu packaging update/backport?
