CVE-2012-5704

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hotblocks module versions 6.x-1.x before 6.x-1.8

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users with the "administer hotblocks" permission to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by creating a block that references itself, leading to an infinite loop and time out.

Recommendations For Hotblocks module versions 6.x-1.x before 6.x-1.8, update to version 6.x-1.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the "administer hotblocks" permission to trusted users or disabling the Hotblocks module until the update is applied.
