CVE-2006-6017 - Almond eyed Payroll

Description

WordPress before 2.0.5 does not properly store a profile containing a string representation of a serialized object which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a string that represents a (1) malformed or (2) large serialized object because the object triggers automatic unserialization for display.
