Security Advisory for Bugzilla 3.2.1, 3.0.7, and 3.3.2
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Summary
=======
Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system, used by a large number of
software projects.
Bugzilla 3.2.1, 3.0.7, and 3.3.2, when running under mod_perl,
generated insufficiently random numbers, resulting in all random
tokens being the same, all CSRF protection being defeated, and the
new attachment_base functionality being compromised. Only these
releases were affected--earlier releases are not affected.
All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as
possible.
Vulnerability Details
=====================
Class: Insufficiently Random Numbers
Versions: 3.2.1, 3.0.7, and 3.3.2
Fixed In: 3.2.2, 3.0.8, 3.3.3
Description: Bugzilla was calling srand() at compile time. Under
mod_perl, this led to all Apache children having the same
random seed, meaning that they all generated identical
"random" strings instead of actually random strings.
This means that all tokens were highly predictable, all
CSRF protection was easily circumvented, and any
installation using the new attachment_base functionality
could possibly have any private attachment viewed without
the user even logging in.
Versions before 3.2.1, 3.0.7, and 3.3.2 were not
affected. Installations that are not using mod_perl
for Bugzilla are not affected.
