  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-072
  * Project: Node View Permissions [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2013-August-28
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Node View Permissions module adds permissions "View own content" and
"View any content" for each content type on the permissions page.
However, it only implements hook_node_access() and not hook_query_alter(),
which means any listing of nodes does not respect the node view permission.

    accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

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

-------- SOLUTION

  * If you use the Node View Permissions module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to
    Node View Permissions 7.x-1.2 [5]
