Hi, Mantis is php/MySQL/web based bug tracking system, available at http://mantisbt.sourceforge.net/. It currently suffers from a classical PHP bad coding practice (altough i would bet on distraction for this particular situation ), that may result on remote command execution via a include file. Users affected should aply the quick fix bellow, other acordingly, or update mantisbt via CVS. Affected versions should include the latest available for download ( at the time of writing, 0.17.3), as well as the previous ones that include the jpgraph feature.

Users may be able to run code remotely. To fix, insert these lines at the top: if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['g_jpgraph_path']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['g_jpgraph_path']) || isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['g_jpgraph_path']) ) { exit; } Thanks go to Joao Gouveia: tharbad@kaotik.org Thanks, -Ken
