TITLE:
Drupal Services Module Session ID Authentication Security Bypass

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39804

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39804/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in the Services module for Drupal,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error in the handling of
access permissions when using session ID authentication without API
key authentication. This can be exploited to access otherwise
restricted functionality via a service which uses the default access
callback.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-2.1.
