Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RealName [5] module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Install the latest version: * If you use the RealName module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to RealName 6.x-1.5 [6]. Also see the RealName [7] project page. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Gabor Szanto [8] * Dave Reid [9], module maintainer and Drupal Security Team member -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Gabor Szanto [10] * Dave Reid [11], module maintainer and Drupal Security Team member -------- COORDINATED BY ------------------------------------------------------ * Dave Reid [12] of the Drupal Security Team * Michael Hess [13] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [14].
