Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Mantis is affected by multiple vulnerabilities ranging from file upload |
| 19 |
and SQL injection to cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |

Description |
| 35 |
=========== |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, |
| 38 |
including: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
* a file upload vulnerability. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
* an injection vulnerability in filters. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
* an SQL injection vulnerability in the user-management page. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
* a port cross-site-scripting vulnerability in filters. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* an HTTP header CRLF injection vulnerability. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Impact |
| 51 |
====== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
An attacker could possibly exploit the file upload vulnerability to |
| 54 |
execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to |
| 55 |
access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database. |
| 56 |
Furthermore, the cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting may |
| 57 |
allow an attacker to inject and execute malicious script code or to |
| 58 |
steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising |
| 59 |
the victim's browser. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Workaround |
| 62 |
========== |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Resolution |
| 67 |
========== |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
# emerge --sync |
| 72 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.4" |
| 73 |
