-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

The contributed webform module provides a webform nodetype. Typical uses for
webform are to create questionnaires, contact or request/register forms,
surveys, polls or a front end to issues tracking systems. The module does not
properly use the database API, leading to an SQL Injection [1] vulnerability
that can easily lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.
No permissions are required to exploit this issue. The vulnerability is
exploited in the wild.

not use the contributed webform [2] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION

  * If you use the Webform module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Webform 6.x-3.5
