Description Andreas Stieger 2017-08-07 13:16:02 UTC 
If, after successful installation of MantisBT through 2.5.2 on MySQL/MariaDB,
the administrator does not remove the 'admin' directory (as recommended in the
"Post-installation and upgrade tasks" section of the MantisBT Admin Guide), and
the MySQL client has a local_infile setting enabled (in php.ini
mysqli.allow_local_infile, or the MySQL client config file, depending on the PHP
setup), an attacker may take advantage of MySQL's "connect file read" feature to
remotely access files on the MantisBT server.
