GLSA-200512-12 : Mantis: Multiple vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 20353

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-200512-12 (Mantis: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Tobias Klein discovered that Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, including:
a file upload vulnerability.
an injection vulnerability in filters.
a SQL injection vulnerability in the user-management page.
a port cross-site-scripting vulnerability in filters.
an HTTP header CRLF injection vulnerability.
Impact :

An attacker could possibly exploit the file upload vulnerability to execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database.
Furthermore, the cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting may allow an attacker 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-0.19.4'
