Description

A vulnerability has been reported in Bugzilla, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct 
spoofing attacks.

Certain input related to comments is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be 
exploited to insert certain control characters within comment text and subsequently e.g. execute arbitrary 
commands on the user's system by tricking the user into copying and pasting malicious data into a terminal 
window.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 4.0.12, prior to 4.2.8, prior to 4.4.3, and prior to 
4.5.3.


Solution:
Update to version 4.0.12, 4.2.8, 4.4.3, or 4.5.3.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Manish Goregaokar within a Bugzilla entry.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Andrew Hamilton 2014-04-23 04:21:35 UTC
I have tested revbumps for 4.2.9 and 4.4.4 and the appropriate ebuilds (4.2.7 and 4.4.1) work fine with a simple rename.

For 4.0.13, there is a dependency change. I have attached an updated ebuild; alternatively, the change to be made is:

-       dev-perl/Math-Random-ISAAC
+       dev-perl/Math-Random-Secure

creffett can you please commit the updated versions and then request stabilization for 4.2.9 and 4.4.4 (4.0.11 is not stabilized so 4.0.13 does not need to be stabilized).

CVE-2014-1517 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1517):
  The login form in Bugzilla 2.x, 3.x, 4.x before 4.4.3, and 4.5.x before
  4.5.3 does not properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended
  login attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to
  obtain sensitive information by arranging for a victim to login to the
  attacker's account and then submit a vulnerability report, related to a
  "login CSRF" issue.
