Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a web blogging tool. They allowed remote attackers to perform various Cross-Side Scripting (XSS) and PHP injections attacks, delete files, leak potentially sensitive data, create posts of unauthorized types, or cause denial-of-service by application crash.

Solution

Upgrade the wordpress packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.5+dfsg-2+deb9u5.
