   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-167
   * Project: RESTful [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-December-02
   * Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:None/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

RESTful module allows Drupal to be operated via RESTful HTTP requests, using
best practices for security, performance, and usability.

The module doesn't sufficiently validate some user input. Specific code could
be run arbitrarily by an attacker in certain circumstances.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only sites with a custom
implementation of methods from a specific class are affected. Also, that
custom code would need to affect data or impact the site in some way.


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

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

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

   * RESTful 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.6.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed RESTful [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the RESTful 7.x-1.x module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to RESTful
     7.x-1.6 [5]

Also see the RESTful [6] project page.

-------- REPORTED BY

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

   * Mateu Aguiló Bosch [8], module maintainer
