                                                 MantisBT <=1.2.3 (db_type) Local File Inclusion Vulnerability

 
 Vendor: MantisBT Group
 Product web page: http://www.mantisbt.org
 Version affected: <1.2.4

 Summary: MantisBT is a free popular web-based bugtracking system. It is written in the PHP
 scripting language and works with MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL databases and a webserver.
 MantisBT has been installed on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, OS/2, and others. Almost any web
 browser should be able to function as a client. It is released under the terms of the GNU
 General Public License (GPL).

 Desc: Mantis Bug Tracker suffers from a local file inlcusion/disclosure (LFI/FD) vulnerability
 when input passed thru the "db_type" parameter (GET & POST) to upgrade_unattended.php script is
 not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include files
 from local resources with directory traversal attacks and URL encoded NULL bytes.
