With the maintenance release 4.9.3 of the 5. February [1] Wordpress
fixed 34 bugs. None of them was a security bugfix (miracle for me ;>)

But they built in a serious security bug:
The automatic update of the core is now broken.

On the 6. February now 4.9.4 was released to fix this.
Since autoupdate is broken you have to do this update manual.
Also a good option to check if all plugins are up to date.
Instructions how to do this update manual you find in the release notes [2]
