Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-12-02 10:52:59 UTC 
An improper input sanitization flaw was found in the way Wordpress
performed trackbacks (a way to notify a website when an entry that
references it is published) maintainance. A remote attacker,
with Author-level privilege could use this flaw to conduct
SQL injection attacks (gain further access to the site, which
should be otherwise prohibited).

Note: You may want to use w3m browser, when trying to access [2],
      and [3], as we are having troubles / timeouts, when accessing

      here.
