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

The vulnerability is caused due to access permissions not being
enforced for the "Recent forwards", "Most forwarded", and "Dynamic
Block" blocks. This can be exploited to disclose node titles of
otherwise restricted nodes.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.21 and

SOLUTION:
