We just released diaspora* version 0.5.7.1 which disables post
fetching for relayables. Due to an insecure implementation, fetching
of root posts for relayables could allow an attacker to distribute
malicious/spoofed/modified posts for any person.

Disabling the fetching will make the current federation a bit less
reliable, but for a hotfix, this is the best solution. We will
re-enable the fetching in 0.6.0.0 when we moved out the federation
into its own library and are able to implement further validation
during fetches.

# Updating

Please update as soon as possible. Update instructions can be found as
usual at https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/Updating.
