Debian DLA-1960-1 : wordpress security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 130029

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a popular content management framework. An attacker can use these flaws to send malicious scripts to an unsuspecting user.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.27+dfsg-0+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
