The current version of mantis in the repository is affectable to
CVE-2006-6574. The description for this security impact reads as following:

Mantis before 1.1.0a2 does not implement per-item access control for
Issue History (Bug History), which allows remote attackers to obtain
sensitive information by reading the Change column, as demonstrated by
the Change column of a custom field.

Informations about impact (according to NVD at NIST):
CVSS Severity: 2.3 (Low)

I'm adding this note for information, as I am working on fixing this
issue. The packager of the Fedora Core Packages of mantis has issued an
patch backporting the changes made to 1.1.0a2 which is not vulnerable. I
will check if this patch can be incorporated into this package and
upload it with the next upload, which is to held only by this security
issues.
