Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201411-3
========================================
Severity: Critical
Date    : 2014-11-05
CVE-ID  : CVE-2014-8554
Package : mantisbt
Type    : sql injection
Remote  : Yes
Link    : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CVE-2014

Summary
======
The package mantisbt before version 1.2.17-3 is vulnerable to SQL injection.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 1.2.17-3.

# pacman -Syu "mantisbt>=1.2.17-3"

The problem has been fixed upstream [0] but no release version is
available yet.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
Edwin Gozeling and Wim Visser discovered that when the project_id
parameter of the SOAP-request starts with the integer of a project to
which the user (or anonymous) is authorized, the ENTIRE value will
become the first item of $t_projects. As this value is concatenated in
the SQL statement, SQL-injection becomes possible.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker is able to perform SQL injection via specially crafted
SOAP-requests. Depending on the configuration this can be escalated to
code execution.
