Security and maintenance update to version 5.5.3.

5.5.3:

This maintenance release fixes an issue introduced in WordPress 5.5.2
which makes it impossible to install WordPress on a brand new website
that does not have an existing database connection configuration.
This release does not affect sites where a database connection is
already configured, for example, via one-click installers or
an existing wp-config.php file.

5.5.2:

Security updates:
- Props to Alex Concha of the WordPress Security Team for their work in \ 
hardening deserialization requests.
- Props to David Binovec on a fix to disable spam embeds from disabled sites on \ 
a multisite network.
- Thanks to Marc Montas from Sucuri for reporting an issue that could lead to \ 
XSS from global variables.
- Thanks to Justin Tran who reported an issue surrounding privilege escalation \ 
in XML-RPC. He also found and disclosed an issue around privilege escalation \ 
around post commenting via XML-RPC.
- Props to Omar Ganiev who reported a method where a DoS attack could lead to RCE.
- Thanks to Karim El Ouerghemmi from RIPS who disclosed a method to store XSS in \ 
post slugs.
- Thanks to Slavco for reporting, and confirmation from Karim El Ouerghemmi, a \ 
method to bypass protected meta that could lead to arbitrary file deletion.
- And a special thanks to @zieladam who was integral in many of the releases and \ 
patches during this release.
