I see.
There is a vulnerabilty involving a unique query parameter called
'destination' (i.e.
http://example.org/?destination=http://example.com).
In Drupal, this parameter may be accessed via
$_REQUEST['destination'], $_GET['destination'] or
drupal_get_destination() function. That issue affected differently to
distinct Drupal versions; for example all confirmation forms in Drupal
7 could be redirected to an external page via the 'destination'
parameter directly, but in Drupal 6 only if the code that builds the
confirmation form uses the parameter (and there are only a few).
The destination parameter was being trusted in multiple places and the
fix consisted in filtering it early in Drupal's bootstrap (see
https://www.drupal.org/node/2455007). This helps preventing open
redirections in custom code and contributed modules too. That issue
was reported multiple times by different people.
The Drupal 6 fix also included filtering an additional parameter but
there was no evidence that some harm could be done with it (I'm not
asking a CVE for this)
Additionally, it was detected that Drupal 7 url_is_external() and
Drupal 6 menu_path_is_external() API functions could return FALSE for
some external URLs. I think these could deserve additional CVE IDs.
These issues were present in Drupal 8 too - the fix has already been
committed: http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/commit/?id=d2304f8 - be
we currently don't request CVEs for unstable releases of Drupal.
Many thanks
