* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2012-004
* Project: Drupal core [1]
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2012-December-19
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass, Arbitrary PHP code execution
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
Multiple vulnerabilities were fixed in the supported Drupal core versions 6
and 7.
.... Access bypass (User module search - Drupal 6 and 7)
A vulnerability was identified that allows blocked users to appear in user
search results, even when the search results are viewed by unprivileged
users.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the default Drupal core user
search results only display usernames (and disclosure of usernames is not
considered a security vulnerability [3]). However, since modules or themes
may override the search results to display more information from each user's
profile, this could result in additional information about blocked users
being disclosed on some sites.
CVE: Requested.
.... Access bypass (Upload module - Drupal 6)
A vulnerability was identified that allows information about uploaded files
to be displayed in RSS feeds and search results to users that do not have the
"view uploaded files" permission.
This issue affects Drupal 6 only.
CVE: Requested.
.... Arbitrary PHP code execution (File upload modules - Drupal 6 and 7)
Drupal core's file upload feature blocks the upload of many files that can be
executed on the server by munging the filename. A malicious user could name a
file in a manner that bypasses this munging of the filename in Drupal's input
validation.
This vulnerability is mitigated by several factors: The attacker would need
the permission to upload a file to the server. Certain combinations of PHP
and filesystems are not vulnerable to this issue, though we did not perform
an exhaustive review of the supported PHP versions. Finally: the server would
need to allow execution of files in the uploads directory. Drupal core has
protected against this with a .htaccess file protection in place from
SA-2006-006 - Drupal Core - Execution of arbitrary files in certain Apache
configurations [4]. Users of IIS should consider updating their web.config
[5]. Users of Nginx should confirm that only the index.php and other known
good scripts are executable. Users of other webservers should review their
configuration to ensure the goals are achieved in some other way.
CVE: Requested.
