Summary

The remote host is missing an update to drupal announced via advisory DSA 840-1. Stefan Esser of the Hardened-PHP Project reported a serious vulnerability in the third-party XML-RPC library included with some Drupal versions. An attacker could execute arbitrary PHP code on a target site. This update pulls in the latest XML-RPC version from upstream. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem since no drupal is included.

Solution

Solution

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.3-4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.5-1. We recommend that you upgrade your drupal package. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20840-1
