   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-044
   * Project: Media [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-May-10

   * Vulnerability: Information Disclosure, Arbitrary PHP code execution,
     Multiple vulnerabilities

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

This module provides intuitive ways to manage large libraries of media,
insert or display or import various types of media either through fields or a
wysiwyg interface.

Versions of this module prior to 7.x-2.1 or 7.x-3.0-alpha5 did not
sufficiently whitelist input parameters for the media browser.

This vulnerability in the versions of media prior to those aforementioned is
mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission
upload files and view media browser.


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

   * Media 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.
   * Media 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.0-alpha4.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Media [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the media module, it is recommended to upgrade to media 
version
     7.x-2.1 (stable) or to 7.x-3.0-alpha5 (cutting edge) or newer.
