DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in the Author Pane module for Drupal,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The weakness is caused due to the module improperly verifying the
"view all user locations" access permissions when displaying user
locations through the Location module, which can be exploited to
disclose the location of arbitrary users.

Successful exploitation of this weakness requires that display of
user locations is enabled within the module.

The weakness is reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-2.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Tony Brooke (silentway) and Skispcs.
