* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-091
* Project: Tokenauth [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2012-June-06
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]

* Vulnerability: Access bypass
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Token Authentication module provides a token for use in the URL to
authenticate users to a site.
Under certain uncommon situations, the module may not revert a user's session
properly. Depending on how tokenauth is used, this could result in subsequent
requests being performed as a user with additional privileges when they
shouldn't.
CVE: Requested
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* Tokenauth 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.7.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Token
Authentication [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Tokenauth module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Tokenauth
6.x-1.7 [4]
Also see the Tokenauth [5] project page.
-------- REPORTED BY
