Drupal 6.x < 6.34 / 7.x < 7.34 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 79386

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote web server is running a version of Drupal that is 6.x prior to 6.34 or 7.x prior to 7.34. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- There exists an unspecified flaw that is triggered when handling a specially crafted request that may allow a remote attacker to perform a session hijacking attack.
(CVE-2014-9015)

- There exists a flaw in the password hashing API that is triggered when handling a specially crafted request. An attacker may use this to consume resources and cause a denial of service. This issue is only present in versions of Drupal prior to 7.34. (CVE-2014-9016)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to version 6.34 / 7.34 or later.
