Published Jan 17, 2003 mozilla

Overview

CVE-2003-0013 is a known-severity vulnerability affecting mozilla bugzilla. It was published on January 17, 2003.

Technical Description

The default .htaccess scripts for Bugzilla 2.14.x before 2.14.5, 2.16.x before 2.16.2, and 2.17.x before 2.17.3 do not include filenames for backup copies of the localconfig file that are made from editors such as vi and Emacs, which could allow remote attackers to obtain a database password by directly accessing the backup file.

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.
