[DSA958] DSA-958-1 drupal

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-958-1 drupal

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several security related problems have been discovered in drupal, a
fully-featured content management/discussion engine. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:
Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities permit remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
When running on PHP5, Drupal does not correctly enforce user
rights, which permits remote attackers to bypass the "access
user profiles" permission.
An interpretation conflict permits remote authenticated users to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML via HTML in a file with a GIF
or JPEG file extension.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain drupal packages.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.3-5.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.5.6-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your drupal package.
