Debian: DSA-2322-1 Critical: Bugzilla Remote Threats Identified

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Bugzilla, a web-based bug tracking system. CVE-2010-4572 . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2322-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Jonathan Wiltshire October 10, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : bugzilla Vulnerability : several Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-201-2979 CVE-2010-4567 CVE-2010-4568 CVE-2010-4572 CVE-2011-0046 CVE-2011-0048 CVE-2011-2379 CVE-2011-2380 CVE-2011-2381 CVE-2011-2978 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Bugzilla, a web-based bug tracking system. CVE-2010-4572 By inserting particular strings into certain URLs, it was possible to inject both headers and content to any browser. CVE-2010-4567, CVE-2011-0048 Bugzilla has a "URL" field that can contain several types of URL, including "javascript:" and "data:" URLs. However, it does not make "javascript:" and "data:" URLs into clickable links, to protect against cross-site scripting attacks or other attacks. It was possible to bypass this protection by adding spaces into the URL in places that Bugzilla did not expect them. Also, "javascript:" and "data:" links were *always* shown as clickable to logged-out users. CVE-2010-4568 It was possible for a user to gain unauthorized access to any Bugzilla account in a very short amount of time (short enough that the attack is highly effective). CVE-2011-0046 Various pages were vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. Most of these issues are not as serious as previous CSRF vulnerabilities. CVE-2011-2978 When a user changes his email address, Bugzilla trusts a user-modifiable field for obtaining the current e-mail address tosend a confirmation message to. If an attacker has access to the session of another user (for example, if that user left their browser window open in a public place), the attacker could alter this field to cause the email-change notification to go to their own address. This means that the user would not be notified that his account had its email address changed by the attacker. CVE-2011-2381 For flagmails only, attachment descriptions with a newline in them could lead to the injection of crafted headers in email notifications when an attachment flag is edited. CVE-2011-2379 Bugzilla uses an alternate host for attachments when viewing them in raw format to prevent cross-site scripting attacks. This alternate host is now also used when viewing patches in "Raw Unified" mode because Internet Explorer 8 and older, and Safari before 5.0.6 do content sniffing, which could lead to the execution of malicious code. CVE-2011-2380 CVE-201-2979 Normally, a group name is confidential and is only visible to members of the group, and to non-members if the group is used in bugs. By crafting the URL when creating or editing a bug, it was possible to guess if a group existed or not, even for groups which weren't used in bugs and so which were supposed to remain confidential. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), it has not been practical to backport patches to fix these bugs. Users of bugzilla on lenny are strongly advised to upgrade to the version in the squeeze distribution. For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.2.0-4.4. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), the bugzilla packages have been removed. We recommend that you upgrade your bugzilla packages.

Debian DSA 944-1 Moderate: Mantis Addressed Remote Security Issues

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:. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 944-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze January 17th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : mantis Vulnerability : several Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE IDs : CVE-2005-4238 CVE-2005-4518 CVE-2005-4519 CVE-2005-4520 CVE-2005-4521 CVE-2005-4522 CVE-2005-4523 CVE-2005-4524 BugTraq IDs : 15842 16046 Debian Bug : 345288 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: CVE-2005-4238 Missing input sanitising allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. CVE-2005-4518 Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis allows remote attackers to bypass the file upload size restriction. CVE-2005-4519 Tobias Klein discovered several SQL injection vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. CVE-2005-4520 Tobias Klein discovered unspecified "port injection" vulnerabilities in filters. CVE-2005-4521 Tobias Klein discovered a CRLF injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks. CVE-2005-4522 Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. CVE-2005-4523 Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis discloses private bugs via public RSS feeds, which allows remoteattackers to obtain sensitive information. CVE-2005-4524 Tobias Klein discoverd 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. Upgrade Instructions - --------------------wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
