Updated drupal packages fix security vulnerabilities
Password reset URLs can be forged under certain circumstances, allowing an attacker to gain access to another user's account without knowing the account's password (CVE-2015-2559).
Under certain circumstances, malicious users can construct a URL that will trick users into being redirected to a 3rd party website, thereby exposing the users to potential social engineering attacks. In addition, several URL-related API functions in Drupal 6 and 7 can be tricked into passing through external URLs when not intending to, potentially leading to additional open redirect vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-2749, CVE-2015-2750).
