   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-158
   * Project: jQuery Update [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-October-21

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

The jQuery Update module enables you to update jQuery on your site.

The module ships with a modified version of the core Overlay JavaScript file,
which is vulnerable to an open redirect attack (see SA-CORE-2015-004 [3]).

Only sites with the Overlay module enabled are vulnerable.

An incomplete fix for this issue was released in SA-CONTRIB-2015-123 [4].
