Numerous vulnerabilities in WordPress were addressed in Debian DSA 959-1, improving defenses against unauthorized access and escalation risks.
Several security related problems have been discovered in drupal, a fully-featured content management/discussion engine

Summary


Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2005-3974

When running on PHP5, Drupal does not correctly enforce user
privileges, which allows remote attackers to bypass the "access
user profiles" permission.

CVE-2005-3975

An interpretation conflict allows remote authenticated users to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML via HTML in a file with a GIF
or JPEG file extension.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain drupal packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.3-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal package.
