Take a look at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/wordpress. We have in Fedora/EPEL these packages:

wordpress-3.2.1-2.fc16 	Fedora 16     (since 2011-07-30 20:57:52)
wordpress-3.2.1-1.fc14 	Fedora 14     (since 2011-07-13 00:55:30)
wordpress-3.2.1-1.fc15 	Fedora 15     (since 2011-07-13 00:55:01)
wordpress-3.2.1-1.el6 	Fedora EPEL 6 (since 2011-07-05 10:18:13)
wordpress-3.1.4-1.el5 	Fedora EPEL 5 (since 2011-06-29 19:58:15)

Given that https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3818 mentions wordpress 2.9.2 and 3.0.4 as being affected, I don't think we have any vulnerable version in our packages.
