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.
