Cisco Content Services Gateway Denial of Service Vulnerability

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Cisco Content Services Gateway – Second Generation, that runs on the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP (SAMI). An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted ICMP packets to an affected device. Exploitation could cause the device to reload. There are no workarounds available to mitigate exploitation of this vulnerability other than blocking ICMP traffic destined to the affected device.

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.
