  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
    commands by sending a specially crafted username. As of Wordpress 2.0.2
    the user data cache is disabled by default.
    </p>

  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest available version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-2.0.3"</code>
