Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2006-6017 (CCN-30406)

Assigned:2006-10-27
Published:2006-10-27
Updated:2008-09-05
Summary: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.
