Background ========= Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/mantisbt < 0.19.3 > = 0.19.3 Description ========== Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, including: * a remote file inclusion vulnerability * an SQL injection vulnerability * multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities * multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities Impact ===== An attacker could exploit the remote file inclusion vulnerability to execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser. An attacker could exploit other vulnerabilities to disclose information. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at thistime. Resolution ========= All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.3" References ========= [ 1 ] Mantis ChangeLog Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200510-24 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Background ========= a2ps is an Any to Postscript filter that can convert to Postscript from many filetypes. fixps is a script that fixes errors in Postscript files. psmandup produces a Postscript file for printing in manual duplex mode. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-text/a2ps < 4.13c-r2 > = 4.13c-r2 Description ========== Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the a2ps package contains two scripts that create insecure temporary files (fixps and psmandup). Impact ===== A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When fixps or psmandup is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All a2ps users should upgrade to the latestversion: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r2" References ========= [ 1 ] Secunia SA13641 https://www.flexera.com/products/security/software-vulnerability-research/secunia-research [ 2 ] CAN-2004-1170 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-1170 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200501-02 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
