Package : wordpress
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-1599 CVE-2008-0664
Debian Bug : 437085 464170
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wordpress,
the weblog manager. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-1599
WordPress allows remote attackers to redirect authenticated users
to other websites and potentially obtain sensitive information.
CVE-2008-0664
The XML-RPC implementation, when registration is enabled, allows
remote attackers to edit posts of other blog users.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.10-1etch3.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress package.
