DESCRIPTION:
Gjoko Krstic has reported some vulnerabilities in MantisBT, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks and disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed via the "db_type" parameter to
admin/upgrade_unattended.php is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

2) Input passed via the "db_type" parameter to
admin/upgrade_unattended.php is not properly verified before being
used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
file from local resources via directory traversal sequences and
URL-encoded NULL bytes.

NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that installation
best-practices have not been followed and the "admin" directory has
not been deleted after a successful installation.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.2.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.4.
