Titel:  [Drupal] Security announcements: Captcha response validation

------------CAPTCHA - RESPONSE VALIDATION BYPASS------------

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2007-006
* Project: Captcha (third-party module)
* Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
* Date: 2007-Jan-30
* Security risk: Less critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Captcha bypass

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

Captcha validation can be bypassed by manipulating request variables while posting or by providing certain (incorrect) responses. This defeats the purpose of the captcha and makes automated submission possible.

------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------

* All versions of Captcha 4.7.x prior to Captcha 4.7-1.2.
* All versions of Captcha 5.x prior to Captcha 5.x-1.1.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Captcha module, there is nothing you need to do.

------------SOLUTION------------

Install the latest version:
* Captcha 4.7.x-1.2 [http://drupal.org/node/114367].
* Captcha 5.x-1.1 [http://drupal.org/node/114366].

See also the Captcha project page [http://drupal.org/project/captcha].

------------REPORTED BY------------

The Drupal security team.
William Smith independently discovered the bypass with "certain (incorrect) responses".

------------CONTACT------------

The security contact for Drupal can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the form at [http://drupal.org/contact].
