REDHAT-BUG-620992
First published: Tue Aug 03 2010(Updated: )
A flaw was found in the way that the Mantis BTS handled attachments and MIME types. A user could upload an HTML file renamed to a .gif and Mantis would calculate the actual MIME type of the file as text/html. A user tricked into thinking they were clicking a .gif attachment would instead have the full HTML file rendered in the browser, rather than having it treated as a downloadable file or displayed in plain text.
