Debian Security Advisory DSA 958-1 security@debian.org

Package : drupal
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2005-3973 CVE-2005-3974CVE-2005-3975
BugTraq IDs : 15674 15677 15663

Several security related problems have been discovered in drupal, a
fully-featured content management/discussion engine. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:

CVE-2005-3973

Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2005-3974

When running on PHP5, Drupal does not correctly enforce user
privileges, which allows remote attackers to bypass the "access
user profiles" permission.

CVE-2005-3975

An interpretation conflict allows remote authenticated users to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML via HTML in a file with a GIF
or JPEG file extension.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain drupal packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.3-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal package.
