Package : drupal7

CVE ID : CVE-2014-9015 CVE-2014-9016

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Drupal, a fully-featured content

management framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project

identifies the following issues:

CVE-2014-9015

Aaron Averill discovered that a specially crafted request can give a

user access to another user's session, allowing an attacker to

hijack a random session.

CVE-2014-9016

Michael Cullum, Javier Nieto and Andres Rojas Guerrero discovered

that the password hashing API allows an attacker to send

specially crafted requests resulting in CPU and memory

exhaustion. This may lead to the site becoming unavailable or

unresponsive (denial of service).

Custom configured session.inc and password.inc need to be audited as

well to verify if they are prone to these vulnerabilities. More

information can be found in the upstream advisory at

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in

version 7.14-2+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal7 packages.
