Drupal core security update for SA-CORE-2018-001 (including Drupal 6!)

Today, there is a Critical security release for Drupal core to fix multiple vulnerabilities. You can learn more in the security advisory:

Drupal core - Critical - Multiple Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2018-001

What makes this release special, is that some of these issues also affect Drupal 6! So, we're also making a Drupal 6 Long-Term Support (D6LTS) release of Drupal core.

Drupal 6 core security update

As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!

The following vulnerabilities mentioned in the security advisory affect Drupal 6:

  • JavaScript cross-site scripting prevention is incomplete - Critical

  • jQuery vulnerability with untrusted domains - Moderately Critical

  • External link injection on 404 pages when linking to the current page - Less Critical

Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch to fix, or a full release ZIP or TAR.GZ.

If you have a Drupal 6 site, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)

If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.

Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install them (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).
