  <affected>
    <package name="www-apps/wordpress" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <background>
    <p>
    WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based content management and publishing
    system.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Due to the lack of input validation in the administration panel
    scripts, WordPress is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting and
    cross-site scripting attacks.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    A malicious user could inject arbitrary response data, leading to
    content spoofing, web cache poisoning and other cross-site scripting or
    HTTP response splitting attacks. This could result in compromising the
    victim's data or browser.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-1.2.2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
