   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-007
   * Project: htaccess [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-07
   * Security risk: 16/25 ( Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

The Htaccess module allows the creation and deployment of .htaccess files
based on custom settings.

Some administration links were not properly protected from Cross Site Request
Forgery (CSRF). A malicious user could cause an administrator to deploy or
delete .htaccess files by getting the administrator's browser to request
specially crafted URLS while the administrator was logged in.

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

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

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

   * All Htaccess 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.3.

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

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

Install the latest version:
   * If you use the Htaccess module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Htaccess 
7.x-2.3
     [5]

Also see the htaccess [6] project page.
