Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-239 - Updated wordpress and php-phpmailer packages fix security vulnerabilities. wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly determine whether data has been serialized, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering erroneous PHP unserialize operations. WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly validate URLs before use in an HTTP redirect, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended redirection restrictions via a crafted string. wp-admin/includes/post.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 allows remote authenticated users to spoof the authorship of a post by leveraging the Author role and providing a modified user_ID parameter. The get_allowed_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not require the unfiltered_html capability for uploads of.htm and.html files, which might make it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting attacks via a crafted file. The default configuration of WordPress before 3.6.1 does not prevent uploads of.swf and.exe files, which might make it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting attacks via a crafted file, related to the get_allowed_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php. Additionally, php-phpmailer has been updated to a newer version required by the updated wordpress.

Package : wordpress
Date : September 19, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated wordpress and php-phpmailer packages fix security
vulnerabilities:

wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly
determine whether data has been serialized, which allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering erroneous PHP
unserialize operations (CVE-2013-4338).

WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly validate URLs before use in
an HTTP redirect, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended
redirection restrictions via a crafted string (CVE-2013-4339).

wp-admin/includes/post.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 allows remote
authenticated users to spoof the authorship of a post by leveraging the
Author role and providing a modified user_ID parameter (CVE-2013-4340).

The get_allowed_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php in
WordPress before 3.6.1 does not require the unfiltered_html capability
for uploads of .htm and .html files, which might make it easier for
remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks via a crafted file (CVE-2013-5738).

The default configuration of WordPress before 3.6.1 does not prevent
uploads of .swf and .exe files, which might make it easier for remote
authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
via a crafted file, related to the get_allowed_mime_types function
in wp-includes/functions.php (CVE-2013-5739).

Additionally, php-phpmailer has been updated to a newer version
required by the updated wordpress.
