taking over the bug since 2.0.4 fixes security issues

"WordPress 2.0.4, the latest stable release in our Duke series, is available for immediate download. This release contains several important security fixes, so its highly recommended for all users. Weve also rolled in a number of bug fixes (over 50!), so its a pretty solid release across the board."

arches, please test and mark wordpress-2.0.4 stable if possible
Comment 5 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-31 05:49:27 UTC
2.0.3 is affected by http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3390 and http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3389

Which sounds like B3/minor to me.

I vote a big no.

NO
Comment 15 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 01:25:24 UTC
Might also fix another issue, but I can't really find any information on it justifying a GLSA.

So I guess this is a NO as well.
Comment 16 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 02:10:07 UTC
http://unknowngenius.com/blog/archives/2006/07/27/followup-on-wordpress/ produces a lot of FUD, there's a follow-up that *might* make us want to reconsider:

Comment 17 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 02:15:35 UTC
@comment #15: Not really a lot of information there either. Maybe we should try mailing upstream?
Comment 18 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 02:22:46 UTC
I'll try but I doubt the usefulness .-)
Comment 19 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 02:29:59 UTC
Wordpress contacted.
Comment 20 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-03 23:53:50 UTC
Ok, I got an answer from WordPress; there is a problem in the core application not mentioned here yet that they wish not yet published. Details available from me. I personally think might want to issue a GLSA. After all, WP *is* in the official tree, so we can't really bail out on our own commitment.

i vote no glsa

Comment 23 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 05:27:52 UTC
I change to YES.
Comment 24 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 05:59:28 UTC
/me tends to vote yes
Comment 25 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 09:38:21 UTC
Ok, lets have a GLSA with no details :-)
Comment 26 Stefan Cornelius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 09:39:27 UTC
I dont get this. I probably misunderstand the whole thing... So what we have is: the 2 CVEs. One absolutely minor, and one disputed and minor -> no glsa.

Then we have some FUD coming from blogs. Uh yeah, blogs ...no real info there,too. I wont issue a GLSA, saying "XY said on his blog that one might be able to conduct $evilthings" -> no glsa.

Then we have that other unknown problem. Is that fixed in 2.0.4? Is this related to 3rd party plugins? If a users installs 3rd party plugs, then it's his own problem. -> no glsa.
Comment 27 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 09:55:20 UTC
Frankly I don't give a damn. If you ask me, mask the app. My point still stands that the bug is in the core. Installing plugins is your own risk, the core not handling plugins correctly is not. Just close if you see fit.
Comment 28 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 12:39:26 UTC
@comment #25: the so called FUD and unknown problem appears to be one and the same thing.

@comment #26: User roles and capabilities are clearly described by upstream: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

If my understanding of the issue is correct I'd rerate as C1.
Comment 29 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 12:49:40 UTC
Thanks and excuse my outburst .-)
Comment 30 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-08 05:13:10 UTC
Rerating to C1 after discussion, even if it's only to be on the safe side. Ready for GLSA, then.
Comment 31 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-10 14:04:21 UTC
GLSA 200608-19

thanks to all
Comment 32 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-11 06:58:02 UTC
Thanks, and fight the FUD :P
