http://secunia.com/advisories/20140/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, System access

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
Drupal 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/342/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Drupal, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and by
malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised
before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.6.6 and prior, and
in version 4.7.0 and prior.

2) Missing access restrictions to the "files" directories in certain
configurations can be exploited to execute arbitrary files within the
directory.

Successful exploitation requires that a " .htaccess" file has not
been used to restrict access to the directory.

The vulnerability has been reported in all versions prior to 4.6.7,
and in version 4.7.0.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.6.7 or 4.7.1.
