Debian DSA-1601-1 Critical: Remote Access Issues in WordPress

WordPress allows remote attackers to redirect authenticated users
to other websites and potentially obtain sensitive information.

CVE-2008-0664

The XML-RPC implementation, when registration is enabled, allows
remote attackers to edit posts of other blog users.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.10-1etch3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3.3-1.
