tag_insight = "It was discovered that the Debian Mantis package, a web based bug
tracking system, installed the database credentials in a file with
world-readable permissions onto the local filesystem. This allows
local users to acquire the credentials used to control the Mantis
database.
This updated package corrects this problem for new installations and
will carefully try to update existing ones. Administrators can check
the permissions of the file /etc/mantis/config_db.php to see if they
are safe for their environment.
The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain a mantis package.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.6+dfsg-2lenny1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.8+dfsg-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your mantis package.";
