Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a web blogging
tool. They allowed remote attackers to run insecure deserialization,
embed spam, perform various Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, escalate privileges, run arbitrary
code, and delete arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
