Debian Security Advisory DSA 161-1 security@debian.org

Package : mantis
Vulnerability : privilege escalation
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
A problem with user privileges has been discovered in the Mantis
package, a PHP based bug tracking system. The Mantis system didn't
check whether a user is permitted to view a bug, but displays it right
away if the user entered a valid bug id.
Another bug in Mantis caused the 'View Bugs' page to list bugs from
both public and private projects when no projects are accessible to
the current user.
These problems have been fixed in version 0.17.1-2.5 for the current
stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.17.5-2 for the unstable
distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not
affected, since it doesn't contain the mantis package.
We recommend that you upgrade your mantis packages.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
