TITLE:
Debian update for mantis

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36225

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36225/

DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for mantis. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose
sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to insecure permissions being set
for /etc/mantis/config_db.php, which can be exploited to disclose the
credentials for the mantis database.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.

-- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny --
