Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3125)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Unspecified vulnerability in WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "Various security hardening."


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3126)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 allows remote attackers to determine usernames of non-authors via canonical redirects.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3127)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 does not prevent rendering for (1) admin or (2) login pages inside a frame in a third-party HTML document, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web site.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3128)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 treats unattached attachments as published, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive data via vectors related to wp-includes/post.php.


5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3129)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The file upload functionality in WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2, when running "on hosts with dangerous security settings," has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to dangerous filenames.


6) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3130)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-3122)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Unspecified vulnerability in WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "Media security."
