View online: https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2014-005

   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2014-005
   * Project: Drupal core [1]
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-Oct-15
   * Security risk: 20/25 ( Highly Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: SQL Injection

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

Drupal 7 includes a database abstraction API to ensure that queries executed
against the database are sanitized to prevent SQL injection attacks.

A vulnerability in this API allows an attacker to send specially crafted
requests resulting in arbitrary SQL execution. Depending on the content of
the requests this can lead to privilege escalation, arbitrary PHP execution,
or other attacks.

This vulnerability can be exploited by anonymous users.

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



   * CVE-2014-3704

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

   * Drupal core 7.x versions prior to 7.32.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Drupal core 7.32 [3].

If you are unable to update to Drupal 7.32 you can apply this patch [4] to
Drupal's database.inc file to fix the vulnerability until such time as you
are able to completely upgrade to Drupal 7.32.

Also see the Drupal core [5] project page.
