Project: Drupal coreDate: 2024-November-20Security risk: Moderately critical 14 ∕ 25 AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:UncommonVulnerability: Gadget chainAffected versions: >= 8.0.0 < 10.2.11 || >= 10.3.0 < 10.3.9Description: 

Drupal core contains a potential PHP Object Injection vulnerability that (if combined with another exploit) could lead to Remote Code Execution. It is not directly exploitable.

This issue is mitigated by the fact that in order for it to be exploitable, a separate vulnerability must be present to allow an attacker to pass unsafe input to unserialize(). There are no such known exploits in Drupal core.

To help protect against this potential vulnerability, some additional checks have been added to Drupal core's database code. If you use a third-party database driver, check the release notes for additional configuration steps that may be required in certain cases.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using Drupal 7, update to Drupal 7.102.
• If you are using Drupal 10.2, update to Drupal 10.2.11.
• If you are using Drupal 10.3, update to Drupal 10.3.9.

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 issue is mitigated by the fact that in order for it to be exploitable, a separate vulnerability must be present to allow an attacker to pass unsafe input to unserialize(). There are no such known exploits in Drupal core.

To help protect against this potential vulnerability, types have been added to properties in some of Drupal core's classes. If an application extends those classes, the same types may need to be specified on the subclass to avoid a TypeError.

Drupal 7 core's Overlay module doesn't safely handle user input, leading to reflected cross-site scripting under certain circumstances.

Only sites with the Overlay module enabled are affected by this vulnerability.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

• If you are using Drupal 7, update to Drupal 7.102
• Sites may also disable the Overlay module to avoid the issue.

Drupal 10 and Drupal 11 are not affected, as the Overlay module was removed from Drupal core in Drupal 8.

Drupal's uniqueness checking for certain user fields is inconsistent depending on the database engine and its collation.

As a result, a user may be able to register with the same email address as another user.

This may lead to data integrity issues.

Updating Drupal will not solve potential issues with existing accounts affected by this bug. See Fixing emails that vary only by case for additional guidance.

With Messenger, we’ve made it simple to connect with the people who matter in your life, whether that means sending Reels to friends or video calling loved ones. Around the world, people  collectively spend over 7 billion minutes on calls across Facebook and Messenger every day, and we’re constantly working on new ways to enhance the experience. 

That’s why today, we’re announcing new Messenger Calling features, many of which are some of our most requested. Now, calling is easier, more reliable and more fun. 

AI Backgrounds in Video Calling

In September, we announced new ways to personalize Messenger chat themes with unique, AI-generated images from Meta AI. Soon, you’ll be able to use AI backgrounds in Messenger video calls to reflect how you’re feeling or just add a little excitement to your call. 

To start creating your personalized AI background, tap on the effects icon in the sidebar of your next video call and select “Backgrounds.” 

HD Video Calls and Noise Suppression

We’re introducing HD video calls, background noise suppression and voice isolation to help you make clearer, higher-quality calls directly from Messenger. Talking digitally will feel more than ever like being in a room together. 

Click to view slideshow.

HD will be enabled by default for video calls made on WiFi.  To enable HD for video calls on cellular data, go to your call settings and turn on “Mobile data for HD video.” 

Background noise suppression and voice isolation can be enabled via call settings in Messenger. 

Audio and Video Messages

Messenger Calling is becoming more and more like a fully outfitted phone, plus some extra features.  Now, you can leave audio or video voice messages when your friends can’t pick up. 

Click to view slideshow.

Tap the “Record message” button to leave an audio message for unanswered audio calls or a video message for unanswered video calls. 

Hands-Free Calling and Messaging

When your hands are full or your phone is out of reach, you can now ask Siri to help you make your calls and messages wherever you are. Try something like: “Hey Siri, send a message to Cassandra on Messenger” and then dictate what that message will be.
