Package        : wordpress
Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-1622 CVE-2007-1893 CVE-2007-1894 CVE-2007-1897

CVE-2007-1622
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-admin/vars.php in
    WordPress before 2.0.10 RC2, and before 2.1.3 RC2 in the 2.1 series,
    allows remote authenticated users with theme privileges to inject
    arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO in the administration
    interface, related to loose regular expression processing of PHP_SELF.

CVE-2007-1893
    WordPress 2.1.2, and probably earlier, allows remote authenticated
    users with the contributor role to bypass intended access restrictions
    and invoke the publish_posts functionality, which can be used to
    "publish a previously saved post."

CVE-2007-1894
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in
    wp-includes/general-template.php in WordPress before 20070309 allows
    remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the year
    parameter in the wp_title function.

CVE-2007-1897
    SQL injection vulnerability in xmlrpc.php in WordPress 2.1.2, and
    probably earlier, allows remote authenticated users to execute
    arbitrary SQL commands via a string parameter value in an XML RPC
    mt.setPostCategories method call, related to the post_id variable.

For the stable distribution (etch) these issues have been fixed in
version 2.0.10-1.

For the testing and unstable distributions (lenny and etch,
respectively), these issues have been fixed in version 2.1.3-1

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress package.
