View online: https://drupal.org/node/2271809

   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-054
   * Project: Views [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-May-21
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to
control how lists and tables of content, users, taxonomy terms and other data
are presented.

The module doesn't sufficiently check handler access when returning the list
of handlers from view_plugin_display::get_handlers(). The most critical code
(access plugins and field output) is unaffected - only area handlers, the
get_field_labels() method, token replacement, and some relationship handling
are susceptible.


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

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

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

   * Views 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.8.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Views module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Views 7.x-3.8 [5]

Also see the Views [6] project page.
