If, after successful installation of MantisBT through 2.5.2 on MySQL/MariaDB, the administrator does not remove the 'admin' directory (as recommended in the "Post-installation and upgrade tasks" section of the MantisBT Admin Guide), and the MySQL client has a local_infile setting enabled (in php.ini mysqli.allow_local_infile, or the MySQL client config file, depending on the PHP setup), an attacker may take advantage of MySQL's "connect file read" feature to remotely access files on the MantisBT server.

Created mantis tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1483618]
So, the mantis RPM package ships with an Apache directive that disallow access to the admin/ directory by default: <Directory /usr/share/mantis/admin> Order Deny,Allow Deny from All Allow from None </Directory> So my guess is that we are not affected by the issue in our default configuration.

You seem to be right. Feel free to close Fedora tracker then. Thanks for looking into it!
