DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in the Organic Groups Vocabulary module
for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass
certain security restrictions.

The weakness is caused due to the module not properly restricting
access to vocabularies, which can be exploited to modify vocabularies
of other groups.

Successful exploitation requires the "administer own group
vocabulary" permission and the "administer organic groups" permission
for another group.

The weakness is reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-1.2.
