Debian Security Advisory DSA 840-1 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
October 4th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : drupal
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-2498
Stefan Esser of the Hardened-PHP Project reported a serious vulnerablility
in the third-party XML-RPC library included with some Drupal versions. An
attacker could execute arbitrary PHP code on a target site. This update
pulls in the latest XML-RPC version from upstream.
The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem since
no drupal is included.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.5.3-4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.5.5-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your drupal package.
