   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-104
   * Project: Dynamic display block [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-May-06
   * Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module enables you to showcase featured content at a prominent place on
the front page of the site in an attractive way.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect access to content a user has no
access to. In certain scenarios a user with the "administer ddblock"
permission can see titles of content for which this user has no access.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer ddblock" permission.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
