        The vulnerabilities identified in Bugzilla are as follows:
        Frederic Buclin and Gervase Markham discovered that input passed to
        various fields throughout Bugzilla were not properly sanitized before
        being sent back to users (CVE-2006-5453).
        Frederic Buclin and Josh 'timeless' Soref discovered a bug when
        viewing attachments in diff mode that allows users not of the
        'insidergroup' to read attachment descriptions. Additionally, it was
        discovered that the 'deadline' field is visible to users who do not
        belong to the 'timetrackinggroup' when bugs are exported to XML
        (CVE-2006-5454).
        Gavin Shelley reported that Bugzilla allows certain operations to
        be performed via HTTP GET and HTTP POST requests without verifying
        those requests properly (CVE-2006-5455).
        Max Kanat-Alexander discovered that input passed to
        showdependencygraph.cgi is not properly sanitized before being returned
        to users (CVE-2006-5453).
      
    Impact :
    
        An attacker could inject scripts into the content loaded by a user's
        browser in order to have those scripts executed in a user's browser in
        the context of the site currently being viewed. This could include
        gaining access to privileged session information for the site being
        viewed. Additionally, a user could forge an HTTP request in order to
        create, modify, or delete bugs within a Bugzilla instance. Lastly, an
        unauthorized user could view sensitive information about bugs or bug
        attachments.
      
    Workaround :
    
        There is no known workaround at this time."
