SA-CORE-2011-002 – Drupal core – Access bypass

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2011-002
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2011-JUNE-29
  • Security risk: Highly critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Access bypass

Description

CVE: CVE-2011-2687

Access bypass in node listings

Listings showing nodes but not JOINing the node table show all nodes regardless of restrictions imposed by the node_access system. In core, this affects the taxonomy and the forum subsystem.

This issue only affects sites using a node access module such as content access or forum access. If you do not use any node access system then your site is not affected by this vulnerability. It is still considered a best practice to run the latest release and all site owners are encouraged to upgrade when they can regardless of whether or not they are affected.

Note that fixing this issue in contributed modules requires a backwards-compatible API change for modules listing nodes. See http://drupal.org/node/1204572 for more details.

This issue affects Drupal 7.x only.

Versions affected

  • Drupal 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you are running Drupal 7.x then upgrade to Drupal 7.3 or 7.4.

The Security Team has released both a pure security update without other bug fixes and a security update combined with other bug fixes and improvements. You can choose to either only include the security update for an immediate fix (which might require less quality assurance and testing) or more fixes and improvements alongside the security fixes by choosing between Drupal 7.3 and Drupal 7.4. Read the announcement for more information.

How to report false positives

Recent new items have raised awareness of the dangers of false positives in security products.  The potential for false positives is something that Norton takes very seriously and we have implemented multiple processes in our development and certification of signatures to prevent false positives.  But there is always a possibility of a false positive reaching the field.  Additionally, there are sometimes disagreements between software vendors and Norton as to whether a file presents a security risk to customers. 

 

In any of these cases Norton offers a fast and simple way to dispute our detection or categorization of a file.  Simply go to https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ to enter your dispute.  The forms are monitored 24 hours a day so that Norton can immediately begin to research and correct any issue.

CVE-2011-2179

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in config.c in config.cgi in (1) Nagios 3.2.3 and (2) Icinga before 1.4.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the expand parameter, as demonstrated by an (a) command action or a (b) hosts action. (CVSS:4.3) (Last Update:2011-11-21)

Default Credentials Vulnerability in Cisco Network Registrar

Cisco Network Registrar Software Releases prior to 7.2 contain a default password for the administrative account. During the initial installation, users are not forced to change this password, allowing it to persist after the installation. An attacker who is aware of this vulnerability could authenticate with administrative privileges and arbitrarily change the configuration of Cisco Network Registrar.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series

Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series devices, also known as TNP phones, are affected by three vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to elevate privileges, change phone configurations, disclose sensitive information, or load unsigned software. These three vulnerabilities are classified as two privilege escalation vulnerabilities and one signature bypass vulnerability.
