-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-10215 2010-06-21 21:03:55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : drupal-views Product : Fedora 13 Version : 6.x.2.11 Release : 1.fc13 URL : http://drupal.org/project/views Summary : Provides a method for site designers to control content presentation Description : The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists of content (nodes) are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted. This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-067 (http://drupal.org/node/829840) * Project: Views (third-party module) * Version: 5.x, 6.x * Date: 2010-June-16 * Security risk: Less critical * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities -------- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------- The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists and tables of content are presented. -------- CROSS SITE REQUEST FORGERY (CSRF) ----------------------------------- The Views UI module, which is included with Views, can be used to enable/disable Views by following a link to a particular page (e.g. admin/build/views/disable/frontpage). As no protections, such as form tokens, are in place to prevent forged requests to these pages, the feature is vulnerable to a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF [1]) that would allow an attacker to enable/disable all Views on a site. Mitigating factors: If Views UI module is disabled Views will no longer be affected by this vulnerability. This issue affects Views for Drupal 5 and Drupal 6. -------- CROSS SITE SCRIPTING (XSS) ------------------------------------------ Under certain circumstances, Views could display URLs or aggregator feed titles without escaping, resulting in a Cross Site Scripting (XSS [2]) vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this to gain full administrative access. This issue affects Views for Drupal 6 only. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED --------------------------------------------------- * Views module for Drupal 5.x versions prior to 5.x-1.8 * Views module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.11 Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Views [3] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the Views module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Views 5.x-1.8 [4] * If you use the Views module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Views 6.x-2.11 [5] See also the Views project page [6]. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * The Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability was reported by Martin Barbella (mbarbella [7]). * The Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were reported by Earl Miles (merlinofchaos [8]), module maintainer and Daniel Wehner (dereine [9]), module co-maintainer -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Earl Miles (merlinofchaos [10]), module maintainer -------- CONTACT ------------------------------------------------------------- The Drupal security team [11] can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at http://drupal.org/contact. * [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Csrf * [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting * [3] http://drupal.org/project/views * [4] http://drupal.org/node/829848 * [5] http://drupal.org/node/829846 * [6] http://drupal.org/project/views * [7] http://drupal.org/user/633600 * [8] http://drupal.org/user/26979 * [9] http://drupal.org/user/99340 * [10] http://drupal.org/user/26979 * [11] http://drupal.org/security-team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jun 18 2010 Jon Ciesla <limb@jcomserv.net> - 6.x.2.11-1 - New upstream, fixes SA-CONTRIB-2010-067. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
