    Debian Bug : 713947

    Several vulnerabilities were identified in Wordpress, a web blogging
    tool. As the CVEs were allocated from releases announcements and
    specific fixes are usually not identified, it has been decided to
    upgrade the Wordpress package to the latest upstream version instead of backporting the patches.

    This means extra care should be taken when upgrading, especially when
    using third-party plugins or themes, since compatibility may have been
    impacted along the way. We recommend that users check their install
    before doing the upgrade.

    CVE-2013-2173

    A denial of service was found in the way wordpress performs hash
    computation when checking password for protected posts. An attacker
    supplying carefully crafted input as a password could make the
    platform use excessive CPU usage

    CVE-2013-2199

    Multiple server-side requests forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities were
    found in the HTTP API. This is related to CVE-2013-0235, which was
    specific to SSRF in pingback requests and was fixed in 3.5.1

    CVE-2013-2200

    Inadequate checking of a user's capabilities could lead to a
    privilege escalation, enabling them to publish posts when their
    user role should not allow for it and to assign posts to other
    authors

    CVE-2013-2201

    Multiple cross-side scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities due to badly
    escaped input were found in the media files and plugins upload forms

    CVE-2013-2202

    XML External Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability via oEmbed
    responses

    CVE-2013-2203

    A Full path disclosure (FPD) was found in the file upload mechanism.
    If the upload directory is not writable, the error message returned
    includes the full directory path

    CVE-2013-2204

    Content spoofing via flash applet in the embedded tinyMCE media
    plugin

    CVE-2013-2205

    Cross-domain XSS in the embedded SWFupload uploader

    For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.2+dfsg-1~deb6u1.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.5.2+dfsg-1~deb7u1.

    For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.2+dfsg-1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.5.2+dfsg-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
