DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Date module for Drupal,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection
attacks.
Certain input when converting nodes created with the Event module to
date fields is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL
query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires the "administer Date Tools"
permission and the existence of the "Event" table in the database.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.8.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-2.8.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Greg Knaddison, Drupal Security Team.
