## Description

wp-trackback.php in WordPress 2.0.6 and earlier does not properly unset
variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value
matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the tb\_id parameter. NOTE:
it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP
command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then
this should not be treated as a vulnerability in WordPress.
