+ <title>WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>

+ Flaws in WordPress allow a Denial of Service, the disclosure of user
+ metadata and the overwriting of restricted files.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based multiuser blogging system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ "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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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 "&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-2.0.5"</code>
