4.3.3, 4.2.3, 4.0.8, and 3.6.11 Security Advisory

Tuesday, Nov 13th, 2012
Summary
=======

Bugzilla is a Web-based bug-tracking system used by a large number of
software projects. The following security issue has been discovered
in Bugzilla:

* Confidential product and component names can be disclosed to
unauthorized users if they are used to control the visibility of
a custom field.

* When calling the 'User.get' WebService method with a 'groups'
argument, it is possible to check if the given group names exist
or not.

* Due to incorrectly filtered field values in tabular reports, it is
possible to inject code which can lead to XSS.

* When trying to mark an attachment in a bug you cannot see as
obsolete, the description of the attachment is disclosed in the
error message.

* A vulnerability in swfstore.swf from YUI2 can lead to XSS.

All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as
possible.
