Summary

The Flag::validate and Flag::modify functions in Bugzilla 2.17.1 to 2.18.1 and 2.19.1 to 2.19.3 do not verify that the flag ID is appropriate for the given bug or attachment ID, which allows users to change flags on arbitrary bugs and obtain a bug summary via process_bug.cgi.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200507-12 (Bugzilla: Unauthorized access and information disclosure) Bugzilla allows any user to modify the flags of any bug (CAN-2005-2173). Bugzilla inserts bugs into the database before marking them as private, in connection with MySQL replication this could lead to a race condition (CAN-2005-2174). Impact : By manually changing the URL to process_bug.cgi, a remote attacker could modify the flags of any given bug, which could trigger an email including the bug summary to be sent to the attacker. The race condition when using Bugzilla with MySQL replication could lead to a short timespan (usually less than a second) where the summary of private bugs is exposed to all users. Workaround : There are no known workarounds at this time.

    This also allows them to expose the summary of a bug.
    
    Bugs are inserted into the database before they are marked as private,
    in Bugzilla code. Thus, MySQL replication can lag in between the time
    that the bug is inserted and when it is marked as private (usually
    less than a second). If replication lags at this point, the bug
    summary will be accessible to all users until replication catches up.
    Also, on a very slow machine, there may be a pause longer than a
    second that allows users to see the title of the newly-filed bug."
