CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : bugzilla
SUMMARY : Fix for remote vulnerability
DATE : 2004-11-23 13:43:00
ID : CLA-2004:896

RELEASES : 9, 10

DESCRIPTION
Bugzilla[1] is a bug tracking system used by many software projects.
Bugzilla versions prior to 2.16.7 have a vulnerability[3] which
allows a remote user to remove keywords from a ticket even without
the necessary permissions. Such an action, however, would trigger the
usual e-mail detailing the changes, making it easy to discover what
happened and what was changed.
Other vulnerabilities were also reported in the Bugzilla security
announcement[2] but they do not affect the versions distributed with
Conectiva Linux.
This announcement updates Bugzilla to version 2.16.7, fixing all
reported problems.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all bugzilla users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, please run the checksetup.pl bugzilla
script:
cd /srv/www/default/html/bugzilla
./checksetup.pl
This script will make all necessary adjustments for this upgrade as
well as alert about possible problems.
