   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-35
   * Project: Book access  [1]     (third-party module)
   * Date: 12-April-2017
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This module alters the book module permissions model by letting you specify
access/modify/delete rights on a per-book basis. Normally, book-related
permissions provided by drupal core apply across all books, but this module
will let you drill down as granular as to letting specific users have
specific rights for specific books.

The security team is marking this module unsupported.  There is a known
security issue with the module that has not been fixed by the maintainer.  If
you would like to maintain this module, please read:
https://www.drupal.org/node/251466

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

   * All  versions

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

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

If you use the Book access module for Drupal you should uninstall it.

Also see the Book access [3] project page.
