  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-019
  * Project: Metatag [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2017-February-15
  * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Complex/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Proof/TD:Uncommon [2]
  * Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

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

This module enables you to add a variety of meta tags to a site for helping
with a site's search engine results and to customize how content is shared on
social networks.

The module doesn't sufficiently protect against data being cached that might
contain information related to a specific user.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a site must have a page with
sensitive data in the page title that varies per logged in user.


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

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

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

  * Metatag 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.21.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Metatag module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Metatag 7.x-1.21
    [5].

Also see the Metatag [6] project page.
