Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-02-01 14:43:11 UTC
From secunia security advisory at $URL:

Description
1) An error within the handling of email addresses containing certain UTF-8 encoded characters can be exploited to e.g. impersonate another user.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change certain bug data or execute certain administrative tasks when a logged-in user visits a specially crafted web page.

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.


Solution:
Update to version 3.4.14, 3.6.8, or 4.0.4.

CVE-2012-0448 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0448):
  Bugzilla 2.x and 3.x before 3.4.14, 3.5.x and 3.6.x before 3.6.8, 3.7.x and
  4.0.x before 4.0.4, and 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2rc2 does not reject
  non-ASCII characters in e-mail addresses of new user accounts, which makes
  it easier for remote authenticated users to spoof other user accounts by
  choosing a similar e-mail address.

CVE-2012-0440 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0440):
  Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in jsonrpc.cgi in Bugzilla
  3.5.x and 3.6.x before 3.6.8, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.4, and 4.1.x and
  4.2.x before 4.2rc2 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of
  arbitrary users for requests that use the JSON-RPC API.
