4.0.14, 4.2.10, 4.4.5, and 4.5.5 Security Advisory Monday Oct 6th, 2014 Summary ======= Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system used by a large number of software projects. The following security issues have been discovered in Bugzilla: * The 'realname' parameter is not correctly filtered on user account creation, which could lead to user data override. * Several places were found in the Bugzilla code where cross-site scripting attacks could be used to access sensitive information. * Private comments can be shown to flagmail recipients who aren't in the insider group * Specially formatted values in a CSV search results export could be used in spreadsheet software to attack a user's computer. All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. Vulnerability Details ===================== Class: Unauthorized Account Creation Versions: 2.23.3 to 4.0.14, 4.1.1 to 4.2.10, 4.3.1 to 4.4.5, 4.5.1 to 4.5.5 Fixed In: 4.0.15, 4.2.11, 4.4.6, 4.5.6 Description: An attacker creating a new Bugzilla account can override certain parameters when finalizing the account creation that can lead to the user being created with a different email address than originally requested.

CVE-2014-1573 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1573): Bugzilla 2.x through 4.0.x before 4.0.15, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4.6, and 4.5.x before 4.5.6 does not ensure that a scalar context is used for certain CGI parameters, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by sending three values for a single parameter name. CVE-2014-1572 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1572): The confirm_create_account function in the account-creation feature in token.cgi in Bugzilla 2.x through 4.0.x before 4.0.15, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4.6, and 4.5.x before 4.5.6 does not specify a scalar context for the realname parameter, which allows remote attackers to create accounts with unverified e-mail addresses by sending three realname values with realname=login_name as the second, as demonstrated by selecting an e-mail address with a domain name for which group privileges are automatically granted. CVE-2014-1571 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1571): Bugzilla 2.x through 4.0.x before 4.0.15, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.11, 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4.6, and 4.5.x before 4.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive private-comment information by leveraging a role as a flag recipient, related to Bug.pm, Flag.pm, and a mail template.
