Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability existed in the user module in drupal7, a content management framework.

If some specific contributed or custom code triggers a rebuild of the user profile form, a registered user can be granted all user roles on the site. This would typically result in the user gaining administrative access.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in drupal7 version 7.14-2+deb7u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal7 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected drupal7 package.
