Debian Bug     : 794548 794560

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in Wordpress, the popular
blogging engine.

CVE-2015-2213

    SQL Injection allowed a remote attacker to compromise the site.

CVE-2015-5622

    The robustness of the shortcodes HTML tags filter has been
    improved. The parsing is a bit more strict, which may affect
    your installation. This is the corrected version of the patch
    that needed to be reverted in DSA 3328-2.

CVE-2015-4730

    A potential timing side-channel attack in widgets.

CVE-2015-5731

    An attacker could lock a post that was being edited.

CVE-2015-5732

    Cross site scripting in a widget title allows an attacker to
    steal sensitive information.

CVE-2015-5734

    Fix some broken links in the legacy theme preview.

The issues were discovered by Marc-Alexandre Montpas of Sucuri,
Helen Hou-Sandí of the WordPress security team, Netanel Rubin of Check Point,
Ivan Grigorov, Johannes Schmitt of Scrutinizer and Mohamed A. Baset.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.1+dfsg-1+deb8u4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.2.4+dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
