Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mantis, the most severe of which leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background

Mantis is a PHP/MySQL/Web based bugtracking system.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-apps/mantisbt	< 1.1.4-r1	>= 1.1.4-r1	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple issues have been reported in Mantis:

EgiX reported that manage_proj_page.php does not correctly sanitize the sort parameter before passing it to create_function() in core/utility_api.php (CVE-2008-4687).
Privileges of viewers are not sufficiently checked before composing a link with issue data in the source anchor (CVE-2008-4688).
Mantis does not unset the session cookie during logout (CVE-2008-4689).
Mantis does not set the secure flag for the session cookie in an HTTPS session (CVE-2008-3102).

Impact

Remote unauthenticated attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary PHP commands, disclose sensitive issue data, or hijack a user's sessions.

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-1.1.4-r1"
