Debian DSA-944-1 : mantis - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 22810

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mantis, a web-based bug tracking system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2005-4238 Missing input sanitising allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

- CVE-2005-4518 Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis allows remote attackers to bypass the file upload size restriction.

- CVE-2005-4519 Tobias Klein discovered several SQL injection vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

- CVE-2005-4520 Tobias Klein discovered unspecified 'port injection' vulnerabilities in filters.

- CVE-2005-4521 Tobias Klein discovered a CRLF injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.

- CVE-2005-4522 Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

- CVE-2005-4523 Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis discloses private bugs via public RSS feeds, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

- CVE-2005-4524 Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis does not properly handle 'Make note private' when a bug is being resolved, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, probably related to an information leak.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by these problems.

Solution

Upgrade the mantis package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.19.2-5sarge1.
