Bugzilla < 3.6.10 / 4.0.7 / 4.2.2 / 4.3.2 Multiple Information Disclosures

medium Nessus Plugin ID 61650

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI application that suffers from multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Bugzilla installed on the remote host is affected by multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities :

- In HTML bugmails, all bug IDs and attachment IDs are linkified, and hovering these links displays a tooltip with the bug summary or the attachment description if the user is allowed to see the bug or attachment. But when validating user permissions when generating the email, the permissions of the user who edited the bug were taken into account instead of the permissions of the addressee. This means that confidential information could be disclosed to the addressee if the other user has more privileges than the addressee. (CVE-2012-1968)

- The description of a private attachment could be visible to a user without permissions to access the attachment if the attachment ID is mentioned in a public comment that the user can see. (CVE-2012-1969)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Bugzilla 3.6.10 / 4.0.7 / 4.2.2 / 4.3.2 or later.
