TITLE:
Drupal Vote Up/Down Module Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34458

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34458/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Drupal Vote Up/Down module,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to vote for content via HTTP requests
without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This
can be exploited to e.g. manipulate votes by enticing a logged in
user to visit a malicious web page.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 5.x-1.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.x-1.1.
