Updated bugzilla packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 12 Jan 2016
Modification date: 16 Jan 2016
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 5
CVE: CVE-2015-4499 , CVE-2015-8508 , CVE-2015-8509

Description

Login names (usually an email address) longer than 127 characters are
silently truncated in MySQL which could cause the domain name of the email
address to be corrupted. An attacker could use this vulnerability to
create an account with an email address different from the one originally
requested. The login name could then be automatically added to groups
based on the group's regular expression setting (CVE-2015-4499).

During the generation of a dependency graph, the code for the HTML image
map is generated locally if a local dot installation is used. With escaped
HTML characters in a bug summary, it is possible to inject unfiltered HTML
code in the map file which the CreateImagemap function generates. This
could be used for a cross-site scripting attack (CVE-2015-8508).

If an external HTML page contains a "script" tag with its src
attribute pointing to a buglist in CSV format, some web browsers
incorrectly try to parse the CSV file as valid JavaScript code. As the
buglist is generated based on the privileges of the user logged into
Bugzilla, the external page could collect confidential data contained in
the CSV file (CVE-2015-8509).

The bugzilla package has been updated to version 4.4.11, fixing these
issues and a few other bugs.
