Overview

CVE-2008-2105 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting mozilla bugzilla. It was published on May 7, 2008 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 3.5 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 3.5, rated LOW. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

email_in.pl in Bugzilla 2.23.4, 3.0.x before 3.0.4, and 3.1.x before 3.1.4 allows remote authenticated users to more easily spoof the changer of a bug via a @reporter command in the body of an e-mail message, which overrides the e-mail address as normally obtained from the From e-mail header. NOTE: since From headers are easily spoofed, this only crosses privilege boundaries in environments that provide additional verification of e-mail addresses.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from mozilla. Update bugzilla to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
