CVE-2013-2173 wordpress: DoS when computing user-input hash for certain password protected blogs
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Wordpress, a blog tool and publishing platform, performed hash computation when checking password for password protected blog posts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted input that, when processed by the password checking mechanism of Wordpress would lead to excessive CPU consumption.
