DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Tagging Module for Drupal,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed to free-tagging vocabularies is not properly sanitised
before being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation requires permissions to create or edit nodes
containing free-tagging vocabulary.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-2.4 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Mike Stefanello and Barry Jaspan.
