Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wordpress' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0254 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wordpress' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0254 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated wordpress package fixes security vulnerabilities: WordPress before 3.7.2 allows remote authenticated users to publish posts by leveraging the Contributor role, related to wp-admin/includes/post.php and wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php (CVE-2014-0165). The wp_validate_auth_cookie function in wp-includes/pluggable.php in WordPress before 3.7.2 does not properly determine the validity of authentication cookies, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a forged cookie (CVE-2014-0166). The wordpress package has been updated to version 3.9.1, fixing these and other issues. Affected Software/OS: 'wordpress' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
