(Whiteboard: security) 

showvotes.cgi sends the voteon param to sql without making sure it's a clean 
integer.  see bug 39536 for a similar problem.
Blocks: 38852
updating summary to include user param, which is also not checked.

going to showvotes.cgi?user=1%20or%201%20=%201 will freeze bugzilla for several 
minutes -- i think one person going to that url prevents *everyone* from using 
it.  it shouldn't be that easy to dos bugzilla :)
