[IT-SecNots] [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2011-036 - Addresses - Cross Site Scripting

[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-036
  * Project: Addresses [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2011-August-17
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to link your users and contents to physical
addresses.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter output when displaying an address.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the module doesn't use the
single line display by default, an administrator has to enable that feature
first.

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Versions prior to 6.x-1.10

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Addresses [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the addresses module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to 6.x-1.11 [4]

See also the Addresses [5] project page.

-------- REPORTED BY  
---------------------------------------------------------

  * David Kinzer [6]

-------- FIXED BY  
------------------------------------------------------------

  * David Kinzer [7]
  * Alexis Wilke [8] the module maintainer
