Description:   Opened: 2005-08-10 09:34 0000 
Description:
kartoffelguru has discovered a vulnerability in WordPress, which can be 
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "cache_lastpostdate" parameter via cookies is not properly 
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP 
script code.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.5.1.3. Other versions may 
also be affected.

I'm aware of this.  I don't since if this merits being put into package.mask
yet, since register_globals is off 
by default in Gentoo's implementation of PHP.

Upstream is aware of this and 1.5.2 is due in the next couple days, with
patches.

The joys of typing when you're dead tired... this post was *supposed* to say
the following:

Bumped to version 1.5.2 - which fixes this issue.  Just committed, should be on
the mirrors shortly.

Add my full NO to this. register_globals is evil. Closing.
