    DESCRIPTION
     Bugzilla[1] is a bug tracking system used by many software projects.
     
     Bugzilla versions prior to 2.16.7 have a vulnerability[3] which
     allows a remote user to remove keywords from a ticket even without
     the necessary permissions. Such an action, however, would trigger the
     usual e-mail detailing the changes, making it easy to discover what
     happened and what was changed.
     
     Other vulnerabilities were also reported in the Bugzilla security
     announcement[2] but they do not affect the versions distributed with
     Conectiva Linux.
     
     This announcement updates Bugzilla to version 2.16.7, fixing all
     reported problems.

    SOLUTION
     It is recommended that all bugzilla users upgrade their packages.
     
     IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, please run the checksetup.pl bugzilla
     script:
     
     cd /srv/www/default/html/bugzilla
     ./checksetup.pl
     
     This script will make all necessary adjustments for this upgrade as
     well as alert about possible problems.
