low Nessus Plugin ID 29952
Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.Description
The Drupal Project reports :When theme .tpl.php files are accessible via the web and the PHP setting register_globals is set to enabled, anonymous users are able to execute cross site scripting attacks via specially crafted links.
Drupal's .htaccess attempts to set register_globals to disabled and also prevents access to .tpl.php files. Only when both these measures are not effective and your PHP interpreter is configured with register_globals set to enabled, will this issue affect you.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
