Comment: This bulletin contains two (2) Drupal security advisories.

  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2010 February 17
  * Security risk: Less critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

- -------- DESCRIPTION  
- ---------------------------------------------------------

iTweak Upload does not escape file names when displaying uploaded files. This
allows a malicious user with the permission to create content and upload
files to perform a Cross Site Scripting [1] (XSS) attack.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
- ---------------------------------------------------

  * iTweak Upload 6.x-2.x prior to 6.x-2.3
  * iTweak Upload 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.2

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed iTweak Upload
module, there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION  
- ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:
  * If you use iTweak Upload 6.x-1.x, upgrade to iTweak Upload 6.x-1.2 [2]
  * If you use iTweak Upload 6.x-2.x, upgrade to iTweak Upload 6.x-2.3 [3]

See also the iTweak Upload project page [4].

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-018
  * Project: Content Distribution (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2010 February 17
  * Security risk: Moderately Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Mulitple Vulnerabilities

- -------- DESCRIPTION  
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Content Distribution module allows calling a method to delete particular
nodes using a XML-RPC call. When this method is allowed to be called by
anonymous users in user permissions, an attacker might delete a random node.
In addition, certain actions require Content Distribution to temporarily
switch users. This is being done without properly disabling session saving.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
- ---------------------------------------------------

  * Content Distribution prior to 6.x-1.3

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Content
Distribution module, there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION  
- ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:
  * If you use Content Distribution for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Content
    Distribution 6.x-1.3 [1].

See also the Content Distribution project page [2].
- -------- REPORTED BY  
- ---------------------------------------------------------

  * Joachim Noreiko (joachim [3]), the module co-maintainer.
