Updated

Provides the Bootstrap front-end framework as a Drupal theme. Bootstrap theme did not sufficiently filter certain attributes, which could lead to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by only affecting the optional tooltip and popover features. A short-term mitigation is to disable tooltips and popovers on admin/appearance/settings/bootstrap or admin/appearance/settings/mybootstrapsubtheme.
