Debian DSA-778-1 : mantis - missing input sanitising

high Nessus Plugin ID 19475

Synopsis

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

Description

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

 - CAN-2005-2556 A remote attacker could supply a specially crafted URL to scan arbitrary ports on arbitrary hosts that may not be accessible otherwise.

 - CAN-2005-2557

 A remote attacker was able to insert arbitrary HTML code in bug reports, hence, cross site scripting.

 - CAN-2005-3090

 A remote attacker was able to insert arbitrary HTML code in bug reports, hence, cross site scripting.

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 0.19.2-4.
