Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 840-1 security@debian.org 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.
