-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2015-7825 2015-09-13 18:37:51.529892 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : drupal6 Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 6.37 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://www.drupal.org Summary : An open-source content-management platform Description : Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal is a Content Management System written in PHP that can support a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites. Drupal is highly configurable, skinnable, and secure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 6 series. This release fixes **security vulnerabilities**. Sites are [urged to upgrade immediately](https://www.drupal.org/node/1494290) after reading the notes below and the security announcement: [Drupal Core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2015-003](https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2015-003) No other fixes are included. No changes have been made to the .htaccess, robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom versions of those files is not necessary. #### Known issues: None. #### Major changes since 6.36: * For security reasons, the autocomplete system now makes Ajax requests to non-clean URLs only, although protection is also in place for custom code that does so using clean URLs. There is a new form API #process function on autocomplete-enabled text fields that is required for the autocomplete functionality to work; custom and contributed modules should ensure that they are not overriding this #process function accidentally when altering text fields on forms. Part of the security fix also includes changes to theme_textfield(); it is recommended that sites which override this theme function make those changes as well (see the theme_textfield section of this diff for details). * When form API token validation fails (for example, when a cross-site request forgery attempt is detected, or a user tries to submit a form after having logged out and back in again in the meantime), the form API now skips calling form element value callbacks, except for a select list of callbacks provided by Drupal core that are known to be safe. In rare cases, this could lead to data loss when a user submits a form and receives a token validation error, but the overall effect is expected to be minor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
