3.2.9, 3.4.9, 3.6.3, and and 4.0rc1 Security Advisory
Monday, Jan 24th, 2011
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:
* A weakness in Bugzilla could allow a user to gain unauthorized access
to another Bugzilla account.
* A weakness in the Perl CGI.pm module allows injecting HTTP headers
and content to users via several pages in Bugzilla.
* The new user autocomplete functionality in Bugzilla 4.0 is vulnerable
to a cross-site scripting attack.
* The new automatic duplicate detection functionality in Bugzilla 4.0
is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack.
* If you put a harmful "javascript:" or "data:" URL into Bugzilla's
"URL" field, then there are multiple situations in which Bugzilla
will unintentionally make that link clickable.
* Various pages lack protection against cross-site request forgeries.
All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as
possible.

CVE Number: CVE-2010-2761, CVE-2010-4411, CVE-2010-4572
Class: Cross-Site Scripting
Affected: 3.7.1 to 4.0rc1
Fixed In: 4.0rc2
Description: Bugzilla 3.7.x and 4.0rc1 have a new client-side
autocomplete mechanism for all fields where a username

References: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619637
CVE Number: CVE-2010-4569
Class: Cross-Site Scripting
Affected: 3.7.1 to 4.0rc1
Fixed In: 4.0rc2

CVE Number: CVE-2010-4570
Class: Cross-Site Scripting
Affected: Every Version Before 3.2.10, 3.4.10, 3.6.4, 4.0rc2
Fixed In: 3.2.10, 3.4.10, 3.6.4, 4.0rc2
Description: Bugzilla has a "URL" field that can contain several types
of URL, including "javascript:" and "data:" URLs. However,
it does not make "javascript:" and "data:" URLs into
clickable links, to protect against cross-site scripting
attacks or other attacks. It was possible to bypass this
protection by adding spaces into the URL in places that
Bugzilla did not expect them. Also, "javascript:" and
"data:" links were *always- summary: |-
shown as clickable to
logged-out users.

CVE Number: CVE-2010-4567, CVE-2011-0048
Class: Cross-Site Request Forgery
Affected: Every Version Before 3.2.10, 3.4.10, 3.6.4, 4.0rc2
Fixed In: 3.2.10, 3.4.10, 3.6.4, 4.0rc2
Description: Various pages were vulnerable to Cross-Site Request
Forgery attacks. Most of these issues are not as serious
as previous CSRF vulnerabilities. Some of these issues
were only addressed on more recent branches of Bugzilla
and not fixed in earlier branches, in order to avoid
changing behavior that external applications may depend
on. The links below in "References" describe which issues
were fixed on which branches.
