Summary
Updated wordpress package fixes multiple vulnerabilities
Details

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 wpvalidateauth_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.
