    Patrik Karlsson reported that WordPress 1.5.2 makes use of an
    insufficiently filtered User Agent string in SQL queries related to
    comments posting. This vulnerability was already fixed in the
    2.0-series of WordPress.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could send a comment with a malicious User Agent
    parameter, resulting in SQL injection and potentially in the subversion
    of the WordPress database. This vulnerability wouldn't affect WordPress
    sites which do not allow comments or which require that comments go
    through a moderator.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Disable or moderate comments on your WordPress blogs.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-2.0.1"</code>
  </resolution>
