Synopsis
========
Mantis is affected by an SQL injection and several cross-site scripting
(XSS) vulnerabilities.
Background
==========
Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/mantisbt < 0.19.2 >= 0.19.2
Description
===========
Mantis fails to properly sanitize untrusted input before using it. This
leads to an 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.
Resolution
==========
All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.2"
