By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-066
- Project: Spaces (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-April-25
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-2303
Spaces is an API module intended to make configuration options generally avaliable only at the sitewide level to be configurable and overridden by individual "spaces" on a Drupal site.
The spaces and spaces_og modules (part of the spaces package) in some cases do not apply the expected spaces access permission to pages that are non-objects (e.g. /node)
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that node_access and user profile permissions will prevent node or user data from being exposed, but other information (e.g. block data,etc) is still displayed. This issue only affects sites using spaces to limit access to content for some users.
Versions affected
- Spaces 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.4.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Spaces module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Spaces module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Spaces 6.x-3.4
Also see the Spaces project page.
