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

The security issue is caused due to the application not properly
restricting access when nodes are accessed outside of the standard
node view and can be exploited to access otherwise restricted nodes.

The security issue is reported in versions 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.6.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-1.6.
