Drupal security advisory                                  DRUPAL-SA-2005-003
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advisory ID:    DRUPAL-SA-2005-003
Date:           2005-jun-29
Security risk:  highly critical
Impact:         system access
Where:          from remote
Vulnerability:  arbitrary PHP code execution
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
-----------
A flaw has been discovered in the third-party XML-RPC library included with 
Drupal.  An attacker could execute arbitrary PHP code on a target site.

Versions affected
-----------------
All versions

Solution
--------
Either remove the XML-RPC server, or upgrade to the latest Drupal version:
- If you cannot upgrade immediately, you can secure your site by removing
  the XML-RPC server: simply remove the file 'xmlrpc.php' in the root of
  your Drupal directory.
- If you are running Drupal 4.5.x, then upgrade to Drupal 4.5.4.
- If you are running Drupal 4.6.x, then upgrade to Drupal 4.6.2.
