Descriptions

email_in.pl in Bugzilla 2.23.4 through 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the -f (From address) option to the Email::Send::Sendmail function, probably involving shell metacharacters.

email_in.pl en Bugzilla 2.23.4 hasta la 3.0.0 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar comandos de su elección a través de la opción -f (Dirección Desde) en la función Email::Send::Sendmail, probablemente afectando al interprete de comandos de metacaracteres.

Masahiro Yamada found that from the 2.17.1 version, Bugzilla does not properly sanitize the content of the buildid parameter when filing bugs. The next two vulnerabilities only affect Bugzilla 2.23.3 or later, hence the stable Gentoo Portage tree does not contain these two vulnerabilities: Loic Minier reported that the Email::Send::Sendmail() function does not properly sanitize from email information before sending it to the -f parameter of /usr/sbin/sendmail, and Frederic Buclin discovered that the XML-RPC interface does not correctly check permissions in the time-tracking fields. Versions less than 3.0.1 are affected.
