Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in PHProjekt 5.2.0, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors to the (1) Projects, (2) Contacts, (3) Helpdesk, (4) Search (only Gecko engine driven Browsers), and (5) Notes modules; the (6) Mail summary page; and unspecified other files.

DRUPAL-SA-2007-005 – Drupal core – Arbitrary code execution

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2007-005
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
  • Date: 2007-Jan-29
  • Security risk: Highly critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Arbitrary code execution

Description

Previews on comments were not passed through normal form validation routines, enabling users with the ‘post comments’ permission and access to more than one input filter to execute arbitrary code. By default, anonymous and authenticated users have access to only one input format.

Immediate workarounds include: disabling the comment module, revoking the ‘post comments’ permission for all users or limiting access to one input format.

Versions affected

  • Drupal 4.7.x before version 4.7.6.
  • Drupal 5.x before version 5.1.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you are running Drupal 4.7.x then upgrade to Drupal 4.7.6.
  • If you are running Drupal 5.0 then upgrade to Drupal 5.1.

CVE-2007-0236

Double free vulnerability in the _ATPsndrsp function in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted AppleTalk request that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVSS:10.0) (Last Update:2008-09-05)

Drupal core – Denial of service

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2007-002.
  • Project: Drupal Core.
  • Version: 4.6, 4.7
  • Date: 2007-Jan-05.
  • Security risk: Less critical.
  • Exploitable from: Remote.
  • Vulnerability: Denial of service.

Description

The way page caching was implemented allows a denial of service attack. An attacker has to have the ability to post content on the site. He or she would then be able to poison the page cache, so that it returns cached 404 page not found errors for existing pages.

If the page cache is not enabled, your site is not vulnerable. The vulnerability only affects sites running on top of MySQL.

Versions affected

  • Drupal 4.6.x versions before Drupal 4.6.11.
  • Drupal 4.7.x versions before Drupal 4.7.5.
