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:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php in WordPress before 3.3.3 does not properly restrict excerpt-view access, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by visiting a draft.
