Debian Security Advisory DSA 153-1                     security@debian.org

Package        : mantis

Vulnerability  : cross site code execution

Problem-Type   : remote

Debian-specific: no



Joao Gouveia discovered an uninitialized variable which was insecurely

used with file inclusions in the mantis package, a php based bug

tracking system.  The Debian Security Team found even more similar

problems.  When these occasions are exploited, a remote user is able

to execute arbitrary code under the webserver user id on the web

server hosting the mantis system.



These problems have been fixed in version 0.17.1-2.1 for the current

stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.17.3-3 for the unstable

distribution (sid).  The old stable distribution (potato) is not

affected, since it doesn't contain the mantis package.



We recommend that you upgrade your mantis packages immediately.



wget url

	will fetch the file for you

dpkg -i file.deb

        will install the referenced file.



If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for

sources.list as given below:



apt-get update

        will update the internal database

apt-get upgrade

        will install corrected packages



You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the

footer to the proper configuration.
