VERIFY ADVISORY:

CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Drupal 4.x

Drupal 5.x

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Drupal, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and bypass certain security restrictions, and by malicious users to
conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
1) Input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTTP headers, which is included in a response sent to the
user. This allows arbitrary HTML and script code to be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid user
credentials.
2) The Upload module includes the ".html" file extension in its
default whitelist for file uploads. This can be exploited to upload
arbitrary HTML files and enticing users to visit them, thereby
executing arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session
in context of an affected site.
3) The hook_components API operation does not pass the publication
status. This makes it possible for modules including Organic groups
and Subscriptions to send e-mail messages containing unpublished
comments.
The vulnerabilities are reported in the 4.7.x branch before 4.7.8 and
in the 5.x branch before 5.3.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.7.8 or 5.3. Reconfigure the Upload module to
disallow ".html" file uploads.
