Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in Bugzilla could allow remote users to modify |
19 |
bug flags or gain sensitive information. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Bugzilla is a web-based bug-tracking system used by many projects. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Bugzilla allows any user to modify the flags of any bug |
38 |
(CAN-2005-2173). Bugzilla inserts bugs into the database before marking |
39 |
them as private, in connection with MySQL replication this could lead |
40 |
to a race condition (CAN-2005-2174). |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
By manually changing the URL to process_bug.cgi, a remote attacker |
46 |
could modify the flags of any given bug, which could trigger an email |
47 |
including the bug summary to be sent to the attacker. The race |
48 |
condition when using Bugzilla with MySQL replication could lead to a |
49 |
short timespan (usually less than a second) where the summary of |
50 |
private bugs is exposed to all users. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There are no known workarounds at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All Bugzilla users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/bugzilla-2.18.3" |
