DSA-1792 drupal6 -- multiple vulnerabilitiesID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:7856 | Date: (C)2009-12-15 (M)2021-06-02 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in drupal, a web content management system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: pod.Edge discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability due that can be triggered when some browsers interpret UTF-8 strings as UTF-7 if they appear before the generated HTML document defines its Content-Type. This allows a malicious user to execute arbitrary javascript in the context of the web site if they're allowed to post content. Moritz Naumann discovered an information disclosure vulnerability. If a user is tricked into visiting the site via a specially crafted URL and then submits a form (such as the search box) from that page, the information in their form submission may be directed to a third-party site determined by the URL and thus disclosed to the third party. The third party site may then execute a cross-site request forgery attack against the submitted form. The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain drupal and is not affected.
