* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-027
* Project: NewsFlash [1] (third-party theme)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2014-March-05
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Newsflash is a theme that features 7 color styles, 12 collapsible regions,
suckerfish menus, fluid or fixed widths, built-in IE transparent PNG fix, and
lots more.

The theme does not sanitize the user provided theme setting for the font
family CSS property, thereby exposing a cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer themes".


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

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

* NewsFlash 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.7.
* NewsFlash 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-2.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed NewsFlash [4]
theme, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

* If you use the theme NewsFlash for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to NewsFlash
7.x-2.5 [5]
* If you use the theme NewsFlash for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to NewsFlash
6.x-1.7 [6]

Also see the NewsFlash [7] project page.

-------- REPORTED BY
