Debian DSA-2828-1 : drupal6 - several vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 71764

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Drupal, a fully-featured content management framework: vulnerabilities due to optimistic cross-site request forgery protection, insecure pseudo random number generation, code execution and incorrect security token validation.

In order to avoid the remote code execution vulnerability, it is recommended to create a .htaccess file (or an equivalent configuration directive in case you are not using Apache to serve your Drupal sites) in each of your sites' 'files' directories (both public and private, in case you have both configured).

Please refer to the NEWS file provided with this update and the upstream advisory at drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 for further information.

Solution

Upgrade the drupal6 packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 6.29-1.
