Titel:  [Drupal] Security announcements: Drupal core - XSS (RG)

------------SA-2008-007 - DRUPAL CORE - CROSS SITE SCRIPTING (REGISTER_GLOBALS)------------

* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-007
* Project: Drupal core
* Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
* Date: 2008-January-10
* Security risk: Less critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross site scripting when register_globals is enabled.

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

When theme .tpl.php files are accessible via the web and the PHP setting register_globals is set to enabled, anonymous users are able to execute cross site scripting attacks via specially crafted links.

Drupals .htaccess attempts to set register_globals to disabled and also prevents access to .tpl.php files. Only when both these measures are not effective and your PHP interpreter is configured with register_globals set to enabled, will this issue affect you.

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

* Drupal 4.7.x
* Drupal 5.x

------------SOLUTIONS------------

* Disable register_globals. Please refer to the PHP documentation [ http://www.php.net/configuration.changes ] on information how to configure PHP.
* Ensure .tpl.php files are not accessible via the web.

Drupal 4.7.11 and 5.6 will present a warning on the administration page when register_globals is enabled. Drupal 5.6 will refuse installation on an insecurely configured server. Existing sites will continue to work.

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