From mkanat at bugzilla.org Wed Nov 3 02:11:13 2010 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2010 19:11:13 -0700 Subject: [ANN] Security Advisory for Bugzilla 3.2.8, 3.4.8, 3.6.2, and 3.7.3 Message-ID: <4CD0C4C1.8080400@bugzilla.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Summary ======= Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system used by a large number of software projects. The following security issues have been discovered in Bugzilla: * There is a way to inject both headers and content to users, causing a serious Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. * It was possible to see graphs from Old Charts even if you did not have access to a particular product, and you could browse a particular URL to see all product names. * YUI 2.8.1, which shipped with Bugzilla starting with 3.7.x, contained a security vulnerability. The version of YUI shipped with Bugzilla 4.0rc1 and above has been updated to 2.8.2. All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. Vulnerability Details ===================== Class: HTTP Response Splitting Versions: Every Version Before 3.2.9, 3.4.9, 3.6.3, 4.0rc1 Fixed In: 3.2.9, 3.4.9, 3.6.3, 4.0rc1 Description: By inserting a certain string into a URL, it was possible to inject both headers and content to any browser that supported "Server Push" (mostly only Gecko-based browsers like Firefox). This could lead to Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities, and possibly other more dangerous security issues as well. References: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600464 http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/113.html CVE Number: CVE-2010-3172 Class: Information Leak Versions: 2.12 to 3.2.8, 3.4.8, 3.6.2, 3.7.3, 4.1 Fixed In: 3.2.9, 3.4.9, 3.6.3, 4.0rc1 Description: The Old Charts system generated graphs with predictable names into the "graphs/" directory, which also could be browsed to see its contents. This allowed unauthorized users to see product names and charted information about those products over time. References: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419014 CVE Number: CVE-2010-3764 Class: Cross-Site Scripting Versions: 3.7.1 to 3.7.3, 4.1 Fixed In: 4.0rc1 Description: YUI 2.8.1 was vulnerable to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in certain .swf files.

Bugzilla 4.0rc1 is our first Release Candidate for Bugzilla 4.0. This release has received QA testing, and should be considerably more stable than the development releases before it. It is still not considered fully stable, and so you should understand that if you use it, you use it at your own risk. In particular, certain aspects of the WebServices have not yet been tested as part of this Release Candidate, so they may change before the final release. If feedback from this release candidate indicates that it is mostly stable, then Bugzilla 4.0 will be released in a few weeks. If feedback indicates that more extensive fixes are needed, there may be another release candidate after this one. Bugzilla 3.6.3 is our latest stable release. It contains various useful bug fixes and security improvements for the 3.6 branch. Bugzilla 3.4.9 and 3.2.9 are security updates for the 3.4 branch and the 3.2 branch, respectively. As a reminder, once the final Bugzilla 4.0 is released, the Bugzilla 3.2.x series will reach End Of Life, meaning that no new updates will be released for 3.2.x, even if there are serious security issues found in that series. All installations running 3.2.x are strongly encouraged to update to 3.6.x or 4.0rc1.

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 thousands of organizations across the globe, and is widely regarded as one of the top defect-tracking systems available.
