Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2008-03-17 09:08:58 UTC
I'm quite confused by this CVE id and it's description.  Original report
mentions WP 2.3.2, but there is not invites.php or actually no 'invite' anywhere
in the WP 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 sources.

So this seems to affect either some customized WP version, WP with some plugin
or multi-user WP (WPMU, http://mu.wordpress.org/, reported to power
wordpress.com blogs).  WPMU does have invite functionality, but its latest
version is 1.3.3 (according to the download page).

Comment 2 Adrian Reber 2008-03-17 12:40:06 UTC
So it sounds like we do not have to do anything, right?

All supported Fedora versions are using 2.3.3. The CVE is only talking about 2.3.2.

So for now, I would say, we do not need to react.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2008-03-17 12:57:27 UTC
CVE description only mentions 2.3.2, as that's what is listed in the initial
report (second link in comment #0 in this bug).  As I mentioned above, it does
not even seem to affect WP 2.3.2.

So unless anyone can see something obvious I may be overlooking, I'm tempted to
close-notabug this.
