Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

- 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].
