Good catch.  Testing now. . .

Comment 2 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-01-08 14:44:32 UTC
Does the lack of htaccess file actually compromise the security in any way, or
just removes a hardening layer?

Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-01-08 14:51:54 UTC
Hardening layer, AFAIK.  Should I reclassify as bugfix?

Drupal does not work with SeLinux enabled.
After playing a little with drupal, I am not very happy/confidente with this
package.
In a couple of weeks, perhaps I will have the time to check again Drupal package
and correct some flaw.

Comment 5 Féliciano Matias 2008-01-09 14:37:29 UTC
ReOpen.
It's a bug !

Part of .htaccess actualy ignored :
# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch
"\.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$">
  Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>



Or do you thing Drupal has build a useless .htaccess ?

With this file, it's easier to get "clean url" :
http://drupal.org/node/15365
It's a "click job" (tested with drupal 6.0-dev).


If you close again the bug, I will not reopen it.

Comment 6 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-01-09 14:40:46 UTC
I did not close it.  

I have builds ready to push in bodhi to fix this.  Just waiting on LKundrak's
response to #3.

Comment 7 Gwyn Ciesla 2008-01-11 12:47:16 UTC
Removed bodhi requests, submitted new for new builds for 5.6, multiple upstream
security fixes, as well as this fix.

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2008-01-11 22:15:06 UTC
drupal-5.6-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
