Description Lars Hartmann 2008-01-24 08:32:58 UTC
A vulnerability has been reported in Mantis, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

Certain input is not properly sanitised before being used within the "Most Active" bugs on the "Summary" page. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when malicious data is viewed.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.1.1.

Solution:
Update to version 1.1.1.

maintainers - please provide an updated ebuild

1.1.1 is already in the tree. Currently stable branch 1.0.8 is not affected. Nothing to do :)

Thx. Closing this one.
