GLSA-200509-16 : Mantis: XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 19815

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-16 (Mantis: XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities)

Mantis fails to properly sanitize untrusted input before using it.
This leads to a SQL injection and several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Impact :

An attacker could possibly use the SQL injection vulnerability to access or modify information from the Mantis database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.2'
