[Secure-testing-team] Bug#567417: drupal6: SA-CONTRIB-2010-004 - Node block XSS attack

Package: drupal6
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: root security hole


The Node Block module creates a block from specified content type(s). 
Node block doesn't properly escape titles allowing users with permissions 
to create/edit the specified content type(s) to inject arbitrary code into 
the site. Such a cross site scripting (XSS) attack may lead to a malicious 
user gaining full administrative access.

The above is taken from http://drupal.org/node/683598

Your package is only affected if the Node Block module (from contributed
modules) is installed. Please let me know if this module is not present
in the drupal6 package.

Many regards,
Pedro
