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

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. post comments when a
logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-4.12 and
7.x-1.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-4.12 or 7.x-1.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Greg Knaddison, Drupal Security Team.
