[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-038
  * Project: Taxonomy Views Integrator [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2011-Augest-31
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to override whole vocabularies or individual terms
with the View of your choice. The module did not filter user entered term
descriptions for Cross Site Scripting (XSS) injections. This vulnerability is
mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission
"administer taxonomy".

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

  * Taxonomy Views Integrator 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Taxonomy Views
Integrator [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Taxonomy Views Integrator module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to
    6.x-1.2 [4]

See also the Taxonomy Views Integrator [5] project page.
