CVE-2013-4338  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 wordpress to version 3.6.1+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly determine whether data has been serialized, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering erroneous PHP unserialize operations.
