* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-061
* Project: Flippy [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2013-July-31
* Security risk: Less critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to generate previous/next links for content types.
The module doesn't sufficiently enforce node access when generating
previous/next links. A user may be presented with a link (including alias if
one is set) but will not be able to view the node content.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to access content.
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------
* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* Flippy 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Flippy [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Flippy module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Flippy 7.x-1.2 [5]
