TITLE:
Drupal Menu System Security Bypass Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29762

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29762/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Drupal 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/17839/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Drupal, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the menu system not properly
controlling access to some pages. This can be exploited to e.g. edit
the profile of other users, edit content types if the attacker is
able to view administration pages, and disclose potentially sensitive
information from the blog and tracker sites despite a missing "access
content" permission.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 6.x prior to 6.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to Drupal 6.2 or apply patch.

Drupal 6.2:
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.2.tar.gz

Patch for Drupal 6.1:
http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-026/SA-2008-026-6.1c.patch

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Tracker access vulnerability:
Peter Wolanin, Drupal Security Team

Profile access vulnerability:
Greg Knaddison, Drupal Security Team
