Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-3639 CVE-2007-4153 CVE-2007-4154 CVE-2007-0540
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in wordpress,
a weblog manager. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-3639
Insufficient input sanitising allowed for remote attackers to
redirect visitors to external websites.
CVE-2007-4153
Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allowed remote
authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
CVE-2007-4154
SQL injection vulnerability allowed allowed remote authenticated
administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
CVE-2007-0540
WordPress allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(bandwidth or thread consumption) via pingback service calls with
a source URI that corresponds to a file with a binary content type,
which is downloaded even though it cannot contain usable pingback data.
[no CVE name yet]
Insufficient input sanitising caused an attacker with a normal user
account to access the administrative interface.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.10-1etch2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.2.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress package.
