Public bug reported:

Hello Everybody,

"WordPress 4.2.4 is now available. This is a security release for all
previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites
immediately.

This release addresses six issues, including three cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities and a potential SQL injection that could be used to
compromise a site, which were discovered by Marc-Alexandre Montpas of
Sucuri, Helen Hou-Sandí of the WordPress security team, Netanel Rubin of
Check Point, and Ivan Grigorov. It also includes a fix for a potential
timing side-channel attack, discovered by Johannes Schmitt of
Scrutinizer, and prevents an attacker from locking a post from being
edited, discovered by Mohamed A. Baset."

and-maintenance-release/

So, is it possible to check if wordpress packages are vulnerable, and update 
them ? (Ubuntu 12.04 : wordpress 3.3.1+dfsg-1 0, 
Ubuntu 14.04 : wordpress 3.8.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 0, ...)

Thanks. Have a good day !
