Interesting.

I am now running it, and will see if there is anything obvious that it 
reports.

1. xmlrpc.php has an fopen call on line 783 that allows a "..".  I am not 
sure what the xmlrpc stuff needs to be able to do, so I am not comfortable 
modifying that regexp without further guidance.  I am not sure where the 
arguments are coming when passed to metaWeblogNewMediaObject().
The client is giving us a filename to open?  That sounds bad, although I 
guess the temp_dir is specified in the config file, probably .htaccess 
could be specified in addition to filenames with ".." in them?


still going - but wanted to see if any of the rest of you were looking 
into it, so we don't duplicate work.
