From mkanat at bugzilla.org Mon May 5 21:21:00 2008 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 14:21:00 -0700 Subject: [ANN] Release of Bugzilla 3.0.4, 3.1.4, 2.22.4, and 2.20.6 Message-ID: <20080505142100.7cb29a8f@es-compy> The Bugzilla project has four releases today! Bugzilla 3.0.4 is the latest stable version of Bugzilla, containing several useful bug fixes over 3.0.3, particularly for the inbound email interface. Bugzilla 3.1.4 is our latest unstable development preview. It should be more stable than 3.1.3, though we still don't recommend it for production environments. Provided we don't find too many major issues in this release, our next release will be Bugzilla 3.2rc1! Bugzilla 2.22.4 and Bugzilla 2.20.6 are security fixes for our legacy releases. 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.

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 three security issues that have recently been fixed in the Bugzilla code: * Users without the "canconfirm" privilege could enter a bug as NEW or ASSIGNED by using the XML-RPC interface. * When viewing several bugs at once, there was a Cross-Site Scripting hole. * The inbound email interface allowed you to set the Reporter via the text of the email, instead of just using the From header. All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. Vulnerability Details ===================== Class: Unauthorized Bug Change Versions: 3.1.3 Description: Users normally need the "canconfirm" privilege to put bugs in the NEW or ASSIGNED state. However, users were being allowed to create bugs in the NEW or ASSIGNED state if they were creating the bug through the XML-RPC interface. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415471 Class: Cross-Site Scripting Versions: 2.17.2 and higher Description: When using the "Format for Printing" view of a bug (or the "Long Format" of a bug list, which is the same thing), there was a cross-site scripting hole--arbitrary text from a particular URL parameter could be injected into the page without filtering. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425665 Class: Account Impersonation (Minor) Versions: 2.23.4 and higher Description: By design, email_in.pl always believes the "From" header as the user making changes or uses that as the reporter of the bug. However, you could also specify the changer/reporter in the body of the email and override the "From" header, possibly bypassing some security checks set up by administrators against the "From" header. For most installations this is a minor or inconsequential issue, as the documentation of email_in.pl already explains that it does not do any user authentication (it just believes the "From" header), so installations using it should not have been expecting user account security (though they may have had checks against the "From" header--that is what makes this a security issue). Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419188 Vulnerability Solutions ======================= The fixes for the security bugs mentioned in this advisory are included in the 3.0.4, 3.1.4, 2.22.4, and 2.20.6 releases. Upgrading to these releases will protect installations from possible exploits of these issues.
