Summary
======
Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system, used by a large number of
software projects.
This advisory covers two security issues that have recently been
fixed in the Bugzilla code:
+ A possible cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Atom feeds
produced by Bugzilla.
+ Web server settings given by Bugzilla which provide security settings
to protect data files from access via the web are overridden by the
mod_perl startup script when running under mod_perl (development
snapshot only).
We strongly advise that 2.20.x users should upgrade to 2.20.4. 2.22
users, and users of 2.16.x or below, should upgrade to 2.22.2. Versions
2.18.x are not affected by either of these vulnerabilities.
Development snapshots of 2.23 before 2.23.4 are also vulnerable to all
of these issues. If you are using a development snapshot, you should
upgrade to 2.23.4, use CVS to update, or apply the patches from the
specific bugs listed below.
