Description

Mantis contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a remote atacker passes a unusually large value to the 'max_file_size' variable which is not properly sanitized in the bug_file_add.php, bug_report.php, bug_report_advanced_page.php and proj_doc_add_page.php scripts allowing the uploaded file to fill the available disk space for the database and will result in loss of availability for the service.
