Correct the following error in http://www.yoursite.com/admin/reports/status:
Temporary files directoryNot fully protected
See http://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 for information about the recommended. htaccess file which shocould be added to the/tmp directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.
This error is caused by incorrect tmp directory permissions:
Create a. htaccess file with the following content:
Deny from all
# Turn off all options we don't need.
Options None
Options + FollowSymLinks
# Set the catch-all handler to prevent scripts from being executed.
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
<Files *>
# Override the handler again if we're re run later in the evaluation list.
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2013_003
</Files>
# If we know how to do it safely, disable the PHP engine entirely.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
Php_flag engine off
</IfModule>
Create the tmp directory (for security, it is best to level the directory with drupal)
Administration> Configuration> Media> File system
Modify Temporary directory to become ../tmp (if tmp and drupal are on the same level)
Put. htaccess in the tmp directory
