Package : wordpress
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-3238 CVE-2007-2821 CVE-2008-0193 CVE-2008-0194
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in wordpress, a weblog
manager.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2007-3238
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in functions.php in the default theme
in WordPress allows remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web
script or HTML via the PATH_INFO (REQUEST_URI) to wp-admin/themes.php.
CVE-2007-2821
SQL injection vulnerability in wp-admin/admin-ajax.php in WordPress before 2.2
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cookie
parameter.
CVE-2008-0193
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-db-backup.php in WordPress
2.0.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
HTML via the backup parameter in a wp-db-backup.php action to
wp-admin/edit.php.
CVE-2008-0194
Directory traversal vulnerability in wp-db-backup.php in WordPress 2.0.3 and
earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, delete arbitrary
files, and cause a denial of service via a .. (dot dot) in the backup parameter
in a wp-db-backup.php action to wp-admin/edit.php.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version
2.0.10-1etch1. Wordpress is not present in the oldstable distribution (sarge).
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress package.
