The Drupal 7.41-cws-1.0.0 update was released to our development environment on Tuesday, October 27th, and will be released to production sites on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd.  Our previous development release was not pushed to production therefore this release includes our previous package, plus some additional updates, as noted with a bold typeface:

Major Version Upgrade

  • Drupal Core 7.39 > 7.41

Drupal Core Bug Fix/Security Updates

  • Drupal Core 7.41 addresses a less critical security vulnerability in the core Overlay module. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it can only be used against site users who have the “Access the administrative overlay” permission, and that the Overlay module must be enabled.
    • OSU Drupal 7 does not have the Overlay module enabled in its default distribution.

New Modules Added

  • Access Control Bridge: 7.x-1.2
    • Added to improve the interplay between the different access control modules we use (Domain Access and Organic Groups).

    • An OSU module that provides a full-width, liquid display. Please see our Feature Page instructions if you’re interested in previewing this in your development environment.

Contributed Module Updates

  • Adminimal theme: 7.x-1.22 -> 7.x-1.23
  • Colorbox: 7.x-2.9 -> 7.x-2.10
    • Less Critical Security fix to prevent users from adding unexpected content to a colorbox, including content from external sites, which could allow an unprivileged user to deface a site. Issue was mitigated by the fact that comments must be enabled (they are not used on our sites).
  • Features: 7.x-2.6 -> 7.x-2.7
  • Filefield Paths: 7.x-1.0-beta4 -> 7.x-1.0-rc1
