Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-905-1 mantis

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mantis, a
web-based bug tracking system. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
A cross-site scripting vulnerability permits attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML.
A file inclusion vulnerability permits remote attackers to execute
arbitrary PHP code and include arbitrary local files.
An SQL injection vulnerability permits remote attackers to execute
arbitrary SQL commands.
Mantis can be tricked into displaying the otherwise hidden real
mail address of its users.
The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.19.2-4.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.19.3-0.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your mantis package.
