Revision History: February 23 2009: Added CVE References October 23 2008: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - ------------SA-2008-067 - DRUPAL CORE - MULTIPLE VULNERABILITIES------------ * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-067 * Project: Drupal core * Versions: 5.x and 6.x * Date: 2008-October-22 * Security risk: Less Critical * Exploitable from: Local/Remote * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities - ------------DESCRIPTION------------ Multiple vulnerabilities and weaknesses were discovered in Drupal. - ------------FILE INCLUSION------------ On a server configured for IP-based virtual hosts, Drupal may be caused to include and execute specifically named files outside of its root directory. This bug affects both Drupal 5 and Drupal 6. - ------------CROSS SITE SCRIPTING------------ The title of book pages is not always properly escaped, enabling users with the "create book content" permission or the permission to edit any node in the book hierarchy to insert arbitrary HTML and script code into pages. Such a Cross site scripting [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting ] attack may lead to the attacker gaining administrator access. This bug affects Drupal 6. - ------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------ * Drupal 5.x before version 5.12 * Drupal 6.x before version 6.6 - ------------SOLUTION------------ Install the latest version: * If you are running Drupal 5.x then upgrade to Drupal 5.12 [ http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-5.12.tar.gz ]. * If you are running Drupal 6.x then upgrade to Drupal 6.6 [ http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.6.tar.gz ]. Note: the settings.php, robots.txt and .htaccess files have not changed and can be left as they are if upgrading from the current version of Drupal. If you are unable to upgrade immediately, you can apply a patch to secure your installation until you are able to do a proper upgrade. The patches fix security vulnerabilities, but do not contain other fixes which were released in these versions. * To patch Drupal 5.11 use SA-2008-067-5.11.patch [ http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-067/SA-2008-067-5.11.patch ]. * To patch Drupal 6.5 use SA-2008-067-6.5.patch [ http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-067/SA-2008-067-6.5.patch ]. - ------------REPORTED BY------------ * The file inclusion vulnerability was reported by Anthony Ferrara * The cross site scripting issue was reported by Maarten van Grootel [ http://drupal.org/user/109716 ] - ------------CONTACT------------ The security team for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at [ http://drupal.org/contact ]. - ------------SA-2008-068 - LOCALIZATION CLIENT AND LOCALIZATION SERVER - CROSS SITE REQUEST FORGERY------------ * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-068 * Project: Localization client and Localization server (third-party modules) * Versions: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2008-October-22 * Security risk: Moderately critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross site request forgery - ------------DESCRIPTION------------ The Localization client module allows you to translate the interface of your Drupal site from within each page as you go. The Localization server module provides a community translation interface for translating Drupal modules and themes and is primarily used by Drupal translation teams. The server also provides an interface for the client to send in translation suggestions. The client's local translation submission interface, approving and declining suggestions on the server and the client's remote submission to the server are implemented in ways, which are vulnerable to cross site request forgeries [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery ] (CSRF). This may lead to unintended modifications of translated strings on the client, unintended rejection or approval of suggestions or unintended remote suggestion submissions on the sever, when a sufficiently privileged user visits a page or site created by a malicious person. - ------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------ * Versions of Localization client for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-1.1 and for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-1.6 * Versions of Localization server for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-1.0-alpha5 and for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-alpha2 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the Localization client or Localization server modules, there is nothing you need to do. - ------------SOLUTION------------ Install the latest version. * If you use Localization client upgrade to Localization client 5.x-1.1 [ http://drupal.org/node/324860 ] or Localization client 6.x-1.6 [ http://drupal.org/node/324864 ] respectively. * If you use Localization server upgrade to Localization server 5.x-1.0-alpha5 [ http://drupal.org/node/324865 ] or Localization server 6.x-1.0-alpha2 [ http://drupal.org/node/324870 ] respectively. Also see the Localization client project page [ http://drupal.org/project/l10n_client ] and the Localization server project page [ http://drupal.org/project/l10n_server ]. - ------------REPORTED BY------------ * The module maintainers Gábor Hojtsy (Gábor Hojtsy [ http://drupal.org/user/4166 ]) and Jose A Reyero (Jose A Reyero [ http://drupal.org/user/4299 ]) - ------------CONTACT------------ The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at [ http://drupal.org/contact ] and by selecting the security issues category. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
