A security flaw was found in the way Mantis, a web-based issue tracking system, checked access level permissions. In some cases, Mantis users of the Reporter role were allowed to change status of an existing issue to NEW state (even when the issue was not originally created / reported by them). Upstream bug report: [1] http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=15258 Relevant upstream patches (against 1.2.x branch): [2] https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/179bfc016596bf11cb4ac1e3bb6d76acbac30aa0 [3] https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/commit/c88137343b0f6d47613ed7fefc5d1277b901b778 Other references: [4] http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/01/19/1
