In the Debian squeeze-lts version of Wordpress, multiple security issues
have been fixed:

Remote attackers could…

  • … upload files with invalid or unsafe names

  • … mount social engineering attacks

  • … compromise a site via cross-site scripting

  • … inject SQL commands

  • … cause denial of service or information disclosure

  • CVE-2014-9031
    Jouko Pynnonen discovered an unauthenticated cross site scripting
    vulnerability (XSS) in wptexturize(), exploitable via comments or
    posts.

  • CVE-2014-9033
    Cross site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the password
    changing process, which could be used by an attacker to trick an user
    into changing her password.

  • CVE-2014-9034
    Javier Nieto Arevalo and Andres Rojas Guerrero reported a potential
    denial of service in the way the phpass library is used to handle
    passwords, since no maximum password length was set.

  • CVE-2014-9035
    John Blackbourn reported an XSS in the Press This function (used
    for quick publishing using a browser bookmarklet).

  • CVE-2014-9036
    Robert Chapin reported an XSS in the HTML filtering of CSS in posts.

  • CVE-2014-9037
    David Anderson reported a hash comparison vulnerability for passwords
    stored using the old-style MD5 scheme. While unlikely, this could be
    exploited to compromise an account, if the user had not logged in
    after a Wordpress 2.5 update (uploaded to Debian on 2 Apr, 2008) and
    the password MD5 hash could be collided with due to PHP dynamic
    comparison.

  • CVE-2014-9038
    Ben Bidner reported a server side request forgery (SSRF) in the core
    HTTP layer which unsufficiently blocked the loopback IP address
    space.

  • CVE-2014-9039
    Momen Bassel, Tanoy Bose, and Bojan Slavkovic reported a
    vulnerability in the password reset process: an email address change
    would not invalidate a previous password reset email.

  • CVE-2015-3438
    Cedric Van Bockhaven reported and Gary Pendergast, Mike Adams, and Andrew Nacin of the
    WordPress security team fixed a cross-site-scripting vulnerabilitity, which could enable anonymous users
    to compromise a site.

  • CVE-2015-3439
    Jakub Zoczek discovered a very limited cross-site scripting
    vulnerability, that could be used as part of a social engineering
    attack.

  • CVE-2015-3440
    Jouko PynnΔ‚Ε›nen discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability,
    which could enable commenters to compromise a site.
