Synopsis

========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mantis, the most

severe of which leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code.

 

Background

==========

 

Mantis is a PHP/MySQL/Web based bugtracking system.

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 www-apps/mantisbt < 1.1.4-r1 >= 1.1.4-r1

 

Description

===========

 

Multiple issues have been reported in Mantis:

 

* EgiX reported that manage_proj_page.php does not correctly sanitize

the sort parameter before passing it to create_function() in

core/utility_api.php (CVE-2008-4687).

 

* Privileges of viewers are not sufficiently checked before composing

a link with issue data in the source anchor (CVE-2008-4688).

 

* Mantis does not unset the session cookie during logout

(CVE-2008-4689).

 

* Mantis does not set the secure flag for the session cookie in an

HTTPS session (CVE-2008-3102).

 

Impact

======

 

Remote unauthenticated attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to

execute arbitrary PHP commands, disclose sensitive issue data, or

hijack a user's sessions.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known workaround at this time.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-1.1.4-r1"
