Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-944-1 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:
Missing input sanitising permits remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML.
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis permits remote attackers to
bypass the file upload size restriction.
Tobias Klein discovered several SQL injection vulnerabilities that
permit remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
Tobias Klein discovered unspecified "port injection"
vulnerabilities in filters.
Tobias Klein discovered a CRLF injection vulnerability that permits
remote attackers to modify HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response
splitting attacks.
Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities that permit remote attackers to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML.
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis discloses private bugs via
public RSS feeds, which permits remote attackers to obtain
sensitive information.
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis does not properly handle "Make
note private" when a bug is being resolved, which has unknown
impact and attack vectors, probably related to an information
leak.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by
these problems.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.19.2-5sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.19.4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your mantis package.
