   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-122
   * Project: Administration Views [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-June-17
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module replaces administrative overview/listing pages with Views for
improved usability.

When combined with other contributed or custom modules, the Administration
Views module improperly grants users access to administration pages including
the permissions page.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it does not appear in the
module itself, but only when combined with select other custom or contributed
modules.


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

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

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

   * Administration Views 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.4.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Administration Views module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to
     Administration Views 7.x-1.4 [5]

Also see the Administration Views [6] project page.
