CVE-2006-6017

MEDIUM

WordPress < 2.0.5 - Authenticated Denial of Service via Malformed Serialized Object

Title source: llm

Description

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.
