Drupal core – Moderately critical – Improper error handling – SA-CORE-2024-002

Read Time:1 Minute, 9 Second
Project: 
Date: 
2024-October-16
Vulnerability: 
Improper error handling
Affected versions: 
>=10.0 < 10.2.10
Description: 

Under certain uncommon site configurations, a bug in the CKEditor 5 module can cause some image uploads to move the entire webroot to a different location on the file system. This could be exploited by a malicious user to take down a site.

The issue is mitigated by the fact that several non-default site configurations must exist simultaneously for this to occur.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

If you are using Drupal 10.2, update to Drupal 10.2.10.
Drupal 10.3 and above are not affected, nor is Drupal 7.

All versions of Drupal 10 prior to 10.2 are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. (Drupal 8 and Drupal 9 have both reached end-of-life.)

This advisory is not covered by Drupal Steward.

Remove broken links in source tarball

Before it wasn’t possible to pass -DTEST_SUITE_SUBDIRS=CTMark to cmake
when configuring the llvm-test-suite:

— Adding directory CTMark
CMake Error at CTMark/CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_subdirectory):
add_subdirectory given source “7zip” which is not an existing directory.

CMake Error at CTMark/CMakeLists.txt:5 (add_subdirectory):
add_subdirectory given source “lencod” which is not an existing directory.

The llvm-test-suite command script pkg_test_suite.sh removes
directories with BAD or unreviewed licenses. Currently this leaves at
least two directories in a broken state:

/usr/share/llvm-test-suite/CTMark/7zip -> ../MultiSource/Benchmarks/7zip
/usr/share/llvm-test-suite/CTMark/lencod -> ../MultiSource/Applications/JM/lencod

In both cases the link target is non-existent.

Therefore I find any broken symbolic links, remove them and adapt the
CMakeLists.txt to not have the add_subdirectory(broken_link) entry in
it. Here’s an excerpt of what the pkg_test_suite.sh script shows when
running as a proof of the work it does now.
