The EditCSVAction function in cgi/actions.py in Roundup 1.2 before 1.2.1, 1.4 through 1.4.6, and possibly other versions does not properly check permissions, which allows remote authenticated users with edit or create privileges for a class to modify arbitrary items within that class, as demonstrated by editing all queries, modifying settings, and adding roles to users.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - The EditCSVAction function in cgi/actions.py in Roundup 1.2 before 1.2.1, 1.4 through 1.4.6, and possibly

    queries, modifying settings, and adding roles to users. (CVE-2009-2737)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that roundup, an issue tracker with a command-line, web and email interface, allows users to edit resources in unauthorized ways, including granting themselves admin rights.

This update introduces stricter access checks, actually enforcing the configured permissions and roles. This means that the configuration may need updating. In addition, user registration via the web interface has been disabled; use the program 'roundup-admin' from the command line instead.
