NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Ubuntu.

wp-includes/comment.php in WordPress before 3.0.2 does not properly whitelist trackbacks and pingbacks in the blogroll, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended spam restrictions via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by a URL that triggers a substring match.
