   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-081
   * Project: Site Banner [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-Aug-20
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Proof/TD:75 [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Site Banner module enables you to display a banner at the top and bottom
of a Drupal site.

This module incorrectly prints existing context settings without proper
sanitization, opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "Administer contexts" from the Context UI  module.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

---------------------------------------------------

   * Site Banner 7.x-4.x versions prior to 7.x-4.0.
   * Site Banner 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Site Banner module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Site Banner
     7.x-4.1 [4]
