From mkanat at bugzilla.org Thu Aug 23 21:04:56 2007 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:04:56 -0700 Subject: [ANN] Release of Bugzilla 3.0.1, 3.1.1, 2.22.3, and 2.20.5 Message-ID: <20070823210457.D505688800A@help.trusthosting.net> Today the Bugzilla project has four releases! 3.0.1 is the first bug-fix release for the 3.0 series. 3.0 was very stable, but 3.0.1 adds a lot of little polish fixes that greatly improve the experience of using Bugzilla. 3.1.1 is our first development release toward Bugzilla 3.2. It has a huge number of new features, but is EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. It has not been tested, and should not be used in a production environment. It may fail in critical ways, or destroy your data. However, it is useful as a feature preview and for testing purposes. 2.22.3 and 2.20.5 are security-fix and critical bug-fix releases for the 2.22 and 2.20 series. If you are using any 2.22 or 2.20 version, we strongly recommend you update to these versions. All four releases also contain security fixes, and so you should definitely update if you want your installation to remain secure.

Defect Tracking Systems allow individuals 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.

Name: signature.asc Type: application/pgp-signature Size: 189 bytes Desc: not available URL: From mkanat at bugzilla.org Thu Aug 23 20:58:25 2007 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:58:25 -0700 Subject: Security Advisory for Bugzilla 3.0, 2.22.2, and 2.20.4 Message-ID: <20070823205847.CC31688800A@help.trusthosting.net> Summary ======= Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system, used by a large number of software projects. This advisory covers three security issues that have recently been fixed in the Bugzilla code: + A possible cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when filing bugs using the guided form. + When using email_in.pl, insufficiently escaped data may be passed to sendmail. + Users using the WebService interface may access Bugzilla's time-tracking fields even if they normally cannot see them. We strongly advise that 2.20.x and 2.22.x users should upgrade to 2.20.5 and 2.22.3 respectively. 3.0 users, and users of 2.18.x or below, should upgrade to 3.0.1. Vulnerability Details ===================== Issue 1 ------- Class: Cross-Site Scripting Versions: 2.17.1 and above Description: Bugzilla does not properly escape the 'buildid' field in the guided form when filing bugs. From 2.17.1 till 2.23.3, this field was based exclusively on the User-Agent string returned by your web browser. Since 2.23.4, this parameter can be defined in the URL passed to enter_bug.cgi, overwriting the User-Agent string and may lead to cross-site scripting. The guided form is not usually used by Bugzilla installations, as it is shipped only as an example to be modified for their own use. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386942 Issue 2 ------- Class: Command Injection Versions: 2.23.4 and above Description: Bugzilla 2.23.4 and newer use the Email:: modules instead of the Mail:: and MIME:: ones. The argument passed to the -f option of Email::Send::Sendmail() is insufficiently escaped and may lead to limited command injection when called from email_in.pl, a script which was also introduced in 2.23.4. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386860 Issue 3 ------- Class: Information Leak Versions: 2.23.3 and above Description: Bugzilla's WebService (XML-RPC) interface allows you to access the time-tracking fields (such as Deadline, Estimated Time, etc.) on all bugs, even if you normally cannot access time-tracking fields. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382056 Vulnerability Solutions ======================= The fixes for all of the security bugs mentioned in this advisory are included in the 2.20.5, 2.22.3, 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 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/ 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.
