[Sysadmin] SQL Injection

[Dean Mah]

Some script kiddies have been running an SQL-injection attack on w.e.o
since Jul 17.  Each attempt causes a hit on the database which drives
the CPU load.  We were sitting in the 30s making it painful to even
use a terminal session on tempest.  I've put in a naive rewrite rule
so that a static page is return rather than a dynamic one.  Load is
back down to a reasonable level.  If there's any problems in the
short-term, check that first as a source.
