From mkanat at bugzilla.org Tue Feb 21 08:18:55 2006 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 00:18:55 -0800 Subject: Security Advisory for Bugzilla 2.20, 2.21.1, and 2.18.4 Message-ID: <1140509935.11094.15.camel@localhost.localdomain> Summary ======= Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system, used by a large number of software projects. This advisory covers three security bugs that have recently been discovered and fixed in the Bugzilla code: + The 'whinedays' and 'mostfreqthreshold' parameters are not correctly validated in editparams.cgi. The first one can lead to SQL injection. + Escaped HTML markup in titles of RSS feeds are incorrectly decoded by some RSS readers and could potentially lead to XSS vulnerabilities. + The login form on the home page, in conjuction with very specific configuation settings and a specially formed URL, may redirect you outside the Bugzilla installation, allowing the login name and password to be stolen. All Bugzilla installations are advised to upgrade to the latest stable version of Bugzilla, 2.20.1. Development snapshots of 2.21 before 2.22rc1 are also vulnerable. If you are using a development snapshot, you should upgrade to 2.22rc1, use CVS to update, or apply the patches from the specific bugs listed below. None of these vulnerabilities affect the old Bugzilla 2.16.x versions. Vulnerability Details ===================== Issue 1 ------- Class: SQL injection Versions: 2.17.1 and above Description: The 'whinedays' parameter, editable from editparams.cgi, is not validated before being saved. This can lead to SQL injection in the whineatnews.pl script. This injection requires administrative privileges. The validation for the 'mostfreqthreshold' parameter is also missing, but this is not exploitable. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312498 Issue 2 ------- Class: Cross Site Scripting Versions: 2.20rc1 - 2.20, 2.21.1 Description: Some RSS readers incorrectly decode escaped HTML markup in feed titles and this could be used to inject some scripts. Although this is not a Bugzilla bug, we prefer to shift to Atom feeds, where the RFC is unambiguous about HTML markup in feed titles. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313441 Issue 3 ------- Class: Sensitive Data Exposure Versions: 2.19.3 and above Description: When the Bugzilla login page is at a subdirectory of the web server and the subdirectory name is a resolvable host on the victim's local network, it is possible to craft a URL that, when used to login to Bugzilla, would send the user's credentials to this host. These conditions make this flaw very difficult to exploit. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325079 Vulnerability Solutions ======================= The fixes for all of the security bugs mentioned in this advisory are included in the 2.18.5, 2.20.1, and 2.22rc1 releases. Upgrading to these releases will protect installations from possible exploits of these issues. Full release downloads, patches to upgrade Bugzilla from previous versions, and CVS upgrade instructions are available at: http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html Specific patches for each of the individual issues can be found on the corresponding bug reports for each issue, at the URL given in the reference for that issue in the list above.

All users of the 2.20 series are highly recommended to upgrade to 2.20.1, as it contains many improvements and fixes to the 2.20 branch.

Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly become a favorite of hundreds of organizations across the globe, and is widely regarded as one of the top defect-tracking systems available.
