Summary ======= Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system, used by a large number of software projects. This advisory covers two security bugs that have recently been discovered and fixed in the Bugzilla code: + config.cgi exposes information to users who aren't logged in, even when "requirelogin" is turned on in Bugzilla. + It is possible to bypass the "user visibility groups" restrictions if user-matching is turned on in "substring" mode. All Bugzilla installations are advised to upgrade to the latest stable version of Bugzilla, 2.20. Development snapshots of 2.21 before 2.21.1 are also vulnerable. If you are using a development snapshot, you should upgrade to 2.21.1, use CVS to update, or apply the patches from the specific bugs listed below. None of these vulnerabilities affect the old Bugzilla 2.16 branch. Vulnerability Details ===================== Issue 1 ------- Class: Information Leak Versions: 2.18rc1 - 2.18.3, 2.19 - 2.20rc2, 2.21 Description: config.cgi gives JavaScript and RDF information about Bugzilla to third-party clients, including a list of products in the Bugzilla installation. The "requirelogin" parameter requires that all people be logged into Bugzilla before seeing any data, as a security measure. In affected versions, config.cgi is always accessible, and always contains information to non-logged-in users, even when "requirelogin" is turned on, possibly exposing product names that administrators expected to be confidential. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308256 Issue 2 ------- Class: Information Leak Versions: 2.19.1 - 2.20rc2, 2.21 Description: Bugzilla contains features to prevent users from "seeing" other users, enabled by the "usevisibilitygroups" parameter. Bugzilla also contains a feature called "user matching," which enables users to type in part of a username and get back a list of possible matches. If user matching is turned on and is in "substring" mode, all matching users will be returned to a query, regardless of the visibility groups settings, exposing users who should be invisible. Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308662 Vulnerability Solutions ======================= The fixes for all of the security bugs mentioned in this advisory are included in the 2.18.4, 2.20, and 2.21.1 releases.
