Debian DSA-2914-1 : drupal6 - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73715

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

An information disclosure vulnerability was discovered in Drupal, a fully-featured content management framework. When pages are cached for anonymous users, form state may leak between anonymous users.
Sensitive or private information recorded for one anonymous user could thus be disclosed to other users interacting with the same form at the same time.

This security update introduces small API changes, see the upstream advisory at drupal.org/SA-CORE-2014-002 for further information.

Solution

Upgrade the drupal6 packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 6.31-1.
