4.2rc2 and 4.0.4 Security Advisory

   Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

Summary
=======

Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system used by a large number of
software projects. The following security issue has been discovered
in Bugzilla:

* A CSRF vulnerability in the implementation of the XML-RPC API
  when running under mod_perl could be used to make changes to
  bugs or execute some admin tasks without the victim's knowledge.

All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as
possible.


Vulnerability Details
=====================

Class:       Cross-Site Request Forgery
Versions:    4.0.2 to 4.0.4, 4.1.1 to 4.2rc2
Fixed In:    4.0.5, 4.2
Description: Due to a lack of validation of the enctype form
             attribute when making POST requests to xmlrpc.cgi,
             a possible CSRF vulnerability was discovered. If a user
             visits an HTML page with some malicious HTML code in it,
             an attacker could make changes to a remote Bugzilla installation
             on behalf of the victim's account by using the XML-RPC API
             on a site running mod_perl. Sites running under mod_cgi
             are not affected. Also the user would have had to be
             already logged in to the target site for the vulnerability
             to work.
