DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in the Views module for Drupal,
which can lead to users performing actions with escalated
privileges.

The security is caused due to the "administer views" permission
granting control over configuration settings that are comparable to
the "administer site configuration" permission.

This security issue is reported in versions 5.x and 6.x.

SOLUTION:
Grant the "administer views" permission to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
