    Synopsis
    ========

    Mantis is affected by multiple vulnerabilities ranging from information
    disclosure to arbitrary script execution.

    Background
    ==========

    Mantis is a web-based bugtracking system written in PHP.

    Affected packages
    =================

        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1 www-apps/mantisbt < 0.19.3 >= 0.19.3

    Description
    ===========

    Mantis contains several vulnerabilities, including:

    * a remote file inclusion vulnerability

    * an SQL injection vulnerability

    * multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities

    * multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities

    Impact
    ======

    An attacker could exploit the remote file inclusion vulnerability to
    execute arbitrary script code, and the SQL injection vulnerability to
    access or modify sensitive information from the Mantis database.
    Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the
    ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal
    cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the
    victim's browser. An attacker could exploit other vulnerabilities to
    disclose information.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All Mantis users should upgrade to the latest version:

        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/mantisbt-0.19.3"
