SA-CORE-2012-001 - Drupal core multiple vulnerabilities

Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in Aggregator module

CVE: CVE-2012-0826
An XSRF vulnerability can force an aggregator feed to update. Since some services are rate-limited (e.g. Twitter limits requests to 150 per hour) this could lead to a denial of service.

This issue affects Drupal 6.x and 7.x.

OpenID not verifying signed attributes in SREG and AX

CVE: CVE-2012-0825
A group of security researchers identified a flaw in how some OpenID relying parties implement Attribute Exchange (AX). Not verifying that attributes being passed through AX have been signed could allow an attacker to modify users’ information.

This issue affects Drupal 6.x and 7.x.

Access bypass in File module

CVE: CVE-2012-0827
