Titel:  [Drupal] Security announcements: Drupal core - XSS forgery

------------SA-2008-005 - DRUPAL CORE - CROSS SITE REQUEST FORGERY------------

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-005
* Project: Drupal core
* Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
* Date: 2008-January-10
* Security risk: Less critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross site request forgery

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

The aggregator module fetches items from RSS feeds and makes them available on the site. The module provides an option to remove items from a particular feed. This has been implemented as a simple GET request and is therefore vulnerable to cross site request forgeries. For example: Should a privileged user view a page containing an tag with a specially constructed src pointing to a remove items URL, the items would be removed.

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

* Drupal 4.7.x before version 4.7.11.
* Drupal 5.x before version 5.6.

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

Install the latest version:

* If you are running Drupal 4.7.x then upgrade to Drupal 4.7.11 [ http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-4.7.11.tar.gz ].
* If you are running Drupal 5.x then upgrade to Drupal 5.6 [ http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-5.6.tar.gz ].

If you are unable to upgrade immediately, you can apply a patch to secure your installation until you are able to do a proper upgrade.

* To patch Drupal 4.7.10 use SA-2008-005-4.7.10.patch [ http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-005/SA-2008-005-4.7.10.patch ].
* To patch Drupal 5.5 use SA-2008-005-5.5.patch [ http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-005/SA-2008-005-5.5.patch ].
