No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

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.
