View online: http://drupal.org/node/1679888

  * Advisory ID: SA-CONTRIB-2012-113
  * Project: Drupal Commons [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-July-11
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]

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

Drupal Commons is a ready-to-use solution for building either internal or
external communities. The Drupal Commons feature (a central module in the
distribution) includes a listing of recent comments on discussions. This
listing of comments is powered by a view that doesn't fully enforce node
access restrictions, which can expose comments for nodes that the user might
not have access to view.

CVE: Requested

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

  * Drupal Commons 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.8.

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

  * If you use Drupal Commons module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Drupal Commons
    6.x-2.8 [4]
