Descriptions

WordPress before 2.0.5 does not properly store a profile containing a string representation of a serialized object, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a string that represents a (1) malformed or (2) large serialized object, because the object triggers automatic unserialization for display.

WordPress anterior a 2.0.5 no almacena adecuadamente un perfil que contiene una representación de un objeto serializado en una cadena, lo cual permite a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) mediante una cadena que representa un objeto serializado (1) mal formado o (2) grande, debido a que el objeto dispara una deserialización automática para mostrarse.
