   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-022
   * Project: Views [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-February-22
   * Security risk: 10/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:None/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

The Views module allows site builders to create listings of various data in
the Drupal database.

The Views module fails to add the required query tags to listings of Taxonomy
Terms, which could cause private data stored on Taxonomy Terms to be leaked
to users without permision to view it.

This is mitigated by the fact that a View must exist that lists Taxonomy
Terms which contain private data. If all the data on Taxonomy Terms is public
or there are no applicable Views, then your site is unaffected.
