* Date: 2012-November-14

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
User Read-only is a module that allows an administrator to prevent
modification of user account/profile fields. The administrator can select
which fields will allow or disallow editing.
The module can mistakenly assign roles when performing unrelated operations
against a user's account such as changing a password.
The vulnerability is particular to certain combinations of configuration and
the number of roles available on the site (more than 3).
