  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-034
  * Project: Node Embed [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2016-June-08
  * Security risk: 5/25 ( Less Critical)
    AC:Complex/A:User/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
  * Vulnerability: Denial of Service

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

This module enables you to embed the contents of one node in the body field
of another.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect against a node being embedded in
itself, or a loop being created of one node being embedded in another which
is then itself embedded in the first node.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create content which allows other content to be
embedded.


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

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

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

  * All Node Embed 7.x-1.x versions.

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

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

  * If you use the Node Embed module for Drupal 7.x you should uninstall it.

Also see the Node Embed [5] project page.
