GLSA 200510-24: Mantis: Multiple vulnerabilities

http://security.gentoo.org/

Severity:	high
Title:	Mantis: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date:	10/28/2005
Bugs:	#110326
ID:	200510-24

Synopsis

Mantis is affected by multiple vulnerabilities ranging from information disclosure to arbitrary script execution.

Background

Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-apps/mantisbt	< 0.19.3	>= 0.19.3	All supported architectures

Description

Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, including:

a remote file inclusion vulnerability
an SQL injection vulnerability
multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities
multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities

Impact

An attacker could exploit the remote file inclusion vulnerability to execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser. An attacker could exploit other vulnerabilities to disclose information.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.3"
