Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Mantis is affected by an SQL injection and several cross-site scripting |
19 |
(XSS) vulnerabilities. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |
28 |
|
29 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
1 www-apps/mantisbt < 0.19.2 >= 0.19.2 |

|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Mantis fails to properly sanitize untrusted input before using it. This |
38 |
leads to an SQL injection and several cross-site scripting |
39 |
vulnerabilities. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
An attacker could possibly use the SQL injection vulnerability to |
45 |
access or modify information from the Mantis database. Furthermore the |
46 |
cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and |
47 |
execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication |
48 |
credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.2" |
62 |
