Committed By:   morr
Date:           Thu Sep 12 17:19:59 UTC 2013

Modified Files:
        pkgsrc/www/wordpress: Makefile PLIST distinfo

Log Message:
This maintenance release addresses 13 bugs with version 3.6.

Additionally: Version 3.6.1 fixes three security issues:

* Remote Code Execution: Block unsafe PHP de-serialization that could occur in
limited situations and setups, which can lead to remote code execution.
Reported by Tom Van Goethem. CVE-2013-4338.
* Link Injection / Open Redirect: Fix insufficient input validation that could
result in redirecting or leading a user to another website.
Reported by Dave Cummo, a Northrup Grumman subcontractor for the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention. CVE-2013-4339.
* Privilege Escalation: Prevent a user with an Author role, using a specially
crafted request, from being able to create a post "written by" another user.
Reported by Anakorn Kyavatanakij. CVE-2013-4340.

Additional security hardening:

* Updated security restrictions around file uploads to mitigate the potential
for cross-site scripting. The extensions .swf and .exe are no longer allowed
by default, and .htm and .html are only allowed if the user has the ability
to use unfiltered HTML.
