Summary: Updated bugzilla packages fix security vulnerability

Details: Login names (usually an email address) longer than 127 characters are silently truncated in MySQL which could cause the domain name of the email address to be corrupted. An attacker could use this vulnerability to create an account with an email address different from the one originally requested. The login name could then be automatically added to groups based on the group's regular expression setting (CVE-2015-4499). During the generation of a dependency graph, the code for the HTML image map is generated locally if a local dot installation is used. With escaped HTML characters in a bug summary, it is possible to inject unfiltered HTML code in the map file which the CreateImagemap function generates. This could be used for a cross-site scripting attack (CVE-2015-8508). If an external HTML page contains a "script" tag with its src attribute pointing to a buglist in CSV format, some web browsers incorrectly try to parse the CSV file as valid JavaScript code. As the buglist is generated based on the privileges of the user logged into Bugzilla, the external page could collect confidential data contained in the CSV file (CVE-2015-8509). The bugzilla package has been updated to version 4.4.11, fixing these issues and a few other bugs.
