* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-017
* Project: Image Resize Filter [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2014-February-12
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Denial of Service (DOS)

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This module enables you to resize images based on the HTML contents of a
post. Images with specified height and width properties that differ from the
original image result in a resized image being created.

The module doesn't limit the number of resized images per post or user, which
could allow a user to post a large number of images that need to be resized
within a single piece of content. This could cause the server to become
overwhelmed by requests to resize images.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
that allows them to post content that utilizes the image resize filter.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

---------------------------------------------------

* Image Resize Filter 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.14.
* Image Resize Filter 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.14.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Image Resize
Filter [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
