Vulnerability Insight:
In the Debian squeeze-lts version of Wordpress, multiple security issues have been fixed:

Remote attackers could...

... upload files with invalid or unsafe names

... mount social engineering attacks

... compromise a site via cross-site scripting

... inject SQL commands

... cause denial of service or information disclosure

CVE-2014-9031

Jouko Pynnonen discovered an unauthenticated cross site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in wptexturize(), exploitable via comments or posts.

CVE-2014-9033

Cross site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the password changing process, which could be used by an attacker to trick an user into changing her password.

CVE-2014-9034

Javier Nieto Arevalo and Andres Rojas Guerrero reported a potential denial of service in the way the phpass library is used to handle passwords, since no maximum password length was set.

CVE-2014-9035

CVE-2014-9036

Robert Chapin reported an XSS in the HTML filtering of CSS in posts.

CVE-2014-9037

David Anderson reported a hash comparison vulnerability for passwords stored using the old-style MD5 scheme. While unlikely, this could be exploited to compromise an account, if the user had not logged in after a Wordpress 2.5 update (uploaded to Debian on 2 Apr, 2008) and the password MD5 hash could be collided with due to PHP dynamic comparison.
