The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Bugzilla 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.2 and 4.3.x before 4.3.2 uses bug-editor privileges instead of bugmail-recipient privileges during construction of HTML bugmail documents, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive description information by reading the tooltip portions of an HTML e-mail message.
