CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : bugzilla
SUMMARY   : Fix for several vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2003-11-05 18:27:00

DESCRIPTION
 Bugzilla[1] is a bug tracking system used by many software projects.
 
 Several vulnerabilities have been announced[2] and are being fixed in
 this update.
 
 1. SQL injection in "collectstats.pl" [3]
 An user with 'editproducts' privileges (usually an administrator) can
 select arbitrary SQL commands to be run by the nightly statistics
 cron job (collectstats.pl) by giving a product a carefully crafted
 name.
 
 2. SQL injection in "editkeywords" [4]
 An user with 'editkeywords' privileges (usually an administrator) can
 inject arbitrary SQL commands via the URL used to edit an existing
 keyword.
 
 3. Privilege mishandling [5]
 When deleting products and the 'usebuggroups' parameter is on, the
 privilege which allows someone to add people to the group which is
 being deleted does not get removed, allowing users with that
 privilege to get that privilege for the next group that is created
 which reuses that group ID. This only allows someone who had been
 granted privileges in the past to retain them.
 
 4. Information leak [6]
 If the email address of someone who has voted on a restricted ticket
 is known, the summary of that ticket can be accessed by users which
 would usually have no such privileges.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all bugzilla users upgrade their packages.
 
 IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, please run the following bugzilla
 script:
 
 /srv/www/default/html/bugzilla/checksetup.pl
 
 This script will make all necessary adjustments for this upgrade as
 well as alert about possible problems.
