Bugzilla 3.2rc1 is our first Release Candidate for Bugzilla 3.2. If everything goes well with this release, Bugzilla 3.2 should be released soon. Bugzilla 3.0.5 is a bug-fix and polish release for the 3.0.x series. Bugzilla 2.22.5 is a security-only release, with no other fixes or changes. Bugzilla 2.20.x users should be aware that once we release Bugzilla 3.2 (in the coming months), Bugzilla 2.20 will no longer be supported. All of today's releases include one security fix. See the Security Advisory section below for details.

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. See http://www.bugzilla.org/about/ for more details. -Max Kanat-Alexander Release Manager, Bugzilla Project -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This advisory covers a security issue that has recently been fixed in the Bugzilla code: * Local files on the server can be attached to a bug (making them publicly visible) when importing bugs with --attach_path All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. Vulnerability Details ===================== Class: Directory Traversal Versions: 2.22.1 - 2.22.4, 2.23.3 and higher Description: When importing bugs using importxml.pl, the --attach_path option can be specified, pointing to the directory where attachments to import are stored. If the XML file being read by importxml.pl contains a malicious node like the following: ../relative_path/to/local_file then the script follows this relative path and attaches the local file pointed by it to the bug, making the file public. The security fix makes sure that relative paths are always ignored. Most Bugzilla installations will not be vulnerable, as they do not use --attach_path with importxml.pl. (In fact, most installations don't use importxml.pl at all.) Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437169 Vulnerability Solutions ======================= The fix for the security bug mentioned in this advisory is included in the 3.2rc1, 3.0.5, and 2.22.5 releases. Upgrading to these releases will protect installations from possible exploits of this issue. Full release downloads, patches to upgrade Bugzilla from previous versions, and CVS upgrade instructions are available at: http://www.bugzilla.org/download/ Credits ======= The Bugzilla team wish to thank the following people for their assistance in locating, advising us of, and assisting us to fix these issues: Greg Hendricks Fr?d?ric Buclin Ilja van Sprundel General information about the Bugzilla bug-tracking system can be found at: http://www.bugzilla.org/ Comments and follow-ups can be directed to the mozilla.support.bugzilla newsgroup or the support-bugzilla mailing list. http://www.bugzilla.org/support/ has directions for accessing these forums. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
