  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-053
  * Project: Login Security [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x, 7.x
  * Date: 2013-June-19
  * Security risk: Critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Multiple vulnerabilities

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

Login Security module adds additional access controls to the login form of
Drupal.

When Login Security is configured to use the delay feature, frequent or
concurrent failed attempts to login can consume all the web serving
processes, causing a denial of service.

It is possible to bypass Login Security features when soft blocking is
disabled. This is due to the incorrect use of string filtering in the module
which can cause the module to skip all checks.
