wp-admin/upgrade.php in WordPress up to and including 2.6.1, allows remote attackers to upgrade the application, and possibly cause a denial of service (application outage), via a direct request if WordPress is not yet setup by creating an empty database, which will prevent future installations from succeeding.
The previous wordpress update introduced a regression when fixing CVE-2008-4769 due to a function that was not backported with the patch. Please note that this regression only affects the oldstable distribution (etch).
