http://drupal.org/node/738434
Comment: This bulletin contains two (2) Drupal security advisories.
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-025
* Project: TinyMCE (third-party module)
* Version: 5.x
* Date: 2010-March-09
* Security risk: Less Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
.... Description
The TinyMCE module provides a "WYSIWYG" tool for entering rich text into
various parts of a site. The TinyMCE module displayed text entered by an
admin without filtering that text leading to a Cross Site Scription (XSS)
vulnerability. XSS vulnerabilities may expose site administrative accounts
which could lead to a variety of additional compromises. This vulnerability
is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the "administer tinymce"
permission which should generally only be granted to trusted roles.
.... Versions affected
* TinyMCE prior to 5.x-1.10.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed TinyMCE module
for Drupal 5, there is nothing you need to do.
.... Solution
Install the latest version:
* If you use TinyMCE for Drupal 5.x upgrade to TinyMCE 5.x-1.11 [1]
.... Reported by
* Justin C. Klein Keane [2]
.... Fixed by
* Kevin Reynen [3], the module maintainer
.... Contact
The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-026
* Project: Monthly Archive by Node Type (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x (all branches)
* Date: 2010-March-10
* Security risk: Less Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access Bypass
- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Monthly Archive by Node Type module generates monthly archive pages and a
block with links to the pages. You can specify the node types that will be
included in the archive pages. In some summary listings, the Monthly Archive
by Node Type module does not construct its SQL query to respect node access
restrictions, thus users can see listings of nodes which are restricted by a
node access module and which should not be accessible.
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
- ---------------------------------------------------
* Monthly Archive by Node Type module for Drupal 6.x versions prior to
6.x-1.4, 6.x-2.7, or 6.x-3.3
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Monthly
Archive by Node Type [1] module, there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version.
* If you use the Monthly Archive by Node Type module for Drupal 6.x-1.x
upgrade to Monthly Archive by Node Type 6.x-1.4 [2]
* If you use the Monthly Archive by Node Type module for Drupal 6.x-2.x
upgrade to Monthly Archive by Node Type 6.x-2.7 [3]
* If you use the Monthly Archive by Node Type module for Drupal 6.x-3.x
