WordPress before 2.6.2 does not properly handle MySQL warnings about
insertion of username strings that exceed the maximum column width of the
user_login column, and does not properly handle space characters when
comparing usernames, which allows remote attackers to change an arbitrary
user’s password to a random value by registering a similar username and
then requesting a password reset, related to a “SQL column truncation
vulnerability.” NOTE: the attacker can discover the random password by also
exploiting CVE-2008-4107.
