|
"random" discovered that users can enter serialized objects as strings
|
|
in their profiles that will be harmful when unserialized. "adapter"
|
|
found out that user-edit.php fails to effectively deny non-permitted
|
|
users access to other user's metadata. Additionally, a directory
|
|
traversal vulnerability in the wp-db-backup module was discovered.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By entering specially crafted strings in his profile, an attacker can
|
|
crash PHP or even the web server running WordPress. Additionally, by
|
|
crafting a simple URL, an attacker can read metadata of any other user,
|
|
regardless of their own permissions. A user with the permission to use
|
|
the database backup plugin can possibly overwrite files he otherwise
|
|
has no access to.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|

</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/wordpress-2.0.5"</code>
