* Project: Flag Content (third-party module)
* Version: 5.x
* Date: 2009-October-21

- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Flag Content module enables users to flag nodes and users for the
attention of a site maintainer (e.g. for abuse, spam, trolling, ...etc.). In
some specific cases, the module does not sanitize before outputting the
Reason field, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS [1]) vulnerability.
Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative
access.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
- ---------------------------------------------------
* Flag Content 5.x-2.x prior to 5.x-2.10
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Flag Content

[1]) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full
administrative access.

* Project: Moodle Course List module (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2009-October-21
* Security risk: Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: SQL Injection
- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Moodle Course List module provides a block which displays links to a
user's Moodle courses. In some cases the module does not properly sanitize
user input, leading to a SQL Injection (SQL Injection [1]) vulnerability.
Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative
access.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
- ---------------------------------------------------
* Moodle Course List module versions 6.x prior to 6.x-1.2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Moodle Course
List module, there is nothing you need to do.

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-079
* Project: vCard module (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 5.x
* Date: 2009-October-21
* Security risk: Less critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The vCard module adds a vCard download link to every user's profile. This
link makes it easy to add users from a Drupal site to a local address book.
When the theme_vcard() function is added to a theme and default content from
the vCard module is output, the site will be vulnerable to Cross Site
Scripting attack (XSS [1]) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a
malicious user gaining full administrative access.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
- ---------------------------------------------------
* vCard module versions 6.x prior to 6.x-1.3
* vCard module versions 5.x prior to 5.x-1.4
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed vCard module,
there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the vCard module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to vCard module 6.x-1.3
[2]
* If you use the vCard module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to vCard module 5.x-1.4
