Vulnerability Details
=====================

Class:       Unauthorized Bug Change
Affected:    3.1.1 through 3.2.3, 3.3.1 through 3.3.4
Fixed In:    3.2.4, 3.4rc1
Description: Users could, in some situations, confirm bugs even if they
             weren't in the canconfirm group, or set a bug to statuses
             that they normally didn't have access to. (For example,
             bug reporters who had no permissions could set their bug
             to any status, while they are only supposed to be able to
             close their bug.)
