Subject Name: Drupal
Subject Summary: CMS
Subject Home: http://drupal.org/
Subject Versions: * <= 4.7.4
Vulnerability Id: none
Vulnerability Scope: global (not OpenPKG specific)
Attack Feasibility: run-time
Attack Vector: remote network
Attack Impact: denial of service, privilege escalation
Description:
According to upstream vendor security advisories [0][1], two
vulnerabilities exist in the content management system Drupal [2],
version up to and including 4.7.4.
The first vulnerability exists because a few arguments passed via
URLs are not properly sanitized before display. When an attacker is
able to entice an administrator to follow a specially crafted link,
arbitrary HTML and script code can be injected and executed in the
victim's session. Such an attack may lead to administrator access if
certain conditions are met.
The second vulnerability is related to the way page caching was
implemented. It allows a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. An attacker
has to have the ability to post content on the site. He or she would
then be able to poison the page cache, so that it returns cached
HTTP response code 404 ("page not found") errors for existing pages.
If the page cache is not enabled, your site is not vulnerable. The
vulnerability only affects sites running on top of MySQL, which is
the case in the OpenPKG packaging of Drupal.
