Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-06-11 10:19:07 UTC

From the CVE request [2]:

Roland Becker (MantisBT developer) found that the delete_attachments_threshold permission was not being checked when a user attempted to delete an attachment from an issue. The more generic update_bug_threshold permission was being checked instead. MantisBT administrators may have been under the false impression that their configuration of the delete_attachments_threshold was successfully preventing unwanted users from deleting attachments.

Comment 7 Vincent Danen 2013-03-15 04:18:36 UTC

EPEL5 hasn't been touched since Dec 2010, and the package is technically orphaned.  As a result I'm closing this bug as this issue is fixed in Fedora.  The EPEL5 tracking bug #800667 will remain open until either mantis is dropped from EPEL or it is fixed.
