The Simple Access module is a node access module that allows administrators to

The module contains a flaw that results in the privacy information for a node
being lost under certain conditions. These conditions are usually triggered via
the interaction with other modules, such as Node clone [
http://drupal.org/project/node_clone ] or Project issue tracking [
http://drupal.org/project/project_issue ].

* Simple access for Drupal 5.x up to and including version 5.x-1.2-2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Simple access
module, there is nothing you need to do.
