Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Mantis is affected by multiple vulnerabilities ranging from information |
19 |
disclosure to arbitrary script execution. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, including: |
38 |
|
39 |
* a remote file inclusion vulnerability |
40 |
|
41 |
* an SQL injection vulnerability |
42 |
|
43 |
* multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities |
44 |
|
45 |
* multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
An attacker could exploit the remote file inclusion vulnerability to |
51 |
execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to |
52 |
access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database. |
53 |
Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the |
54 |
ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal |
55 |
cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the |
56 |
victim's browser. An attacker could exploit other vulnerabilities to |
57 |
disclose information. |
58 |
|
59 |
Workaround |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
63 |
|
64 |
Resolution |
65 |
========== |
66 |
|
67 |
All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version: |
68 |
|
69 |
# emerge --sync |
70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.3" |
