How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wordpress to version 2.2.3-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

wp-admin/admin-functions.php in Wordpress before 2.2.3 and Wordpress multi-user (MU) before 1.2.5a does not properly verify the unfiltered_html privilege, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via modified data to (1) post.php or (2) page.php with a no_filter field.
