Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in swfupload.swf in SWFupload 2.2.0.1 and earlier, as used in WordPress before 3.5.2, TinyMCE Image Manager 1.1 and earlier, and other products allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the buttonText parameter, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3414.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en wp-includes/js/swfupload/swfupload.swf en WordPress antes de v3.3.2 tiene un impacto y vectores de ataque desconocidos.

Several vulnerabilities were identified in Wordpress, a web blogging tool. As the CVEs were allocated from release announcements and specific fixes are usually not identified, it has been decided to upgrade the Wordpress package to the latest upstream version instead of backporting the patches.
