The remote web server is running a version of Drupal that is 6.x prior to 6.33 or 7.x prior to 7.31. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  • The XML-RPC library in Drupal allows entity declarations without considering recursion during entity expansion.
    A remote attacker, using a crafted XML document with a large number of nested entity references, can cause a denial of service by consuming available memory and CPU resources. (CVE-2014-5265)

  • The XML-RPC library in Drupal does not limit the number of elements in an XML document. A remote attacker, via a large document, could cause a denial of service by CPU consumption. (CVE-2014-5266)

  • An XML injection flaw exists in ‘xmlrpc.php’ due to the parser accepting XML internal entities from untrusted sources. A remote attacker, via specially crafted XML data, could exploit this to cause a denial of service.
    This vulnerability also exists within the Drupal OpenID module.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
