Hi there,

IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT
-------------------------
Browser is enough to replicate this issue. Simply log in to your  
wordpress blog as a low privileged
user or admin. Create a new post and use the media file upload
feature to upload a file:

test-image.php.jpg

containing the following code:

<?php
      phpinfo();
?>

After the upload you should receive a positive response saying:

test-vuln.php.jpg
image/jpeg
2009-11-11

and it should be possible to request the uploaded file via a link:
http://link-to-our-wp-unsecured-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/test-vuln.php.jpg

tried this with lighttpd and wordpress 2.8.5 and PHP 5.2.11-pl0-gentoo
with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7
Shows a broken image no code executed.

Kind Regards
