    CVE-2015-7943

    Summary: Updated drupal package fixes security vulnerability

    Details: The Overlay module in Drupal core displays administrative pages as a layer over the current page (using JavaScript), rather than replacing the page in the browser window. The Overlay module does not sufficiently validate URLs prior to displaying their contents, leading to an open redirect vulnerability (CVE-2015-7943).
