Debian DLA-1721-1 : otrs2 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 122956

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It has been discovered that OTRS (Open source Ticket Request System) is susceptible to code injection vulnerability. An attacker who is logged into OTRS as an agent or a customer user may upload a carefully crafted resource in order to cause execution of JavaScript in the context of OTRS. This is related to Content-type mishandling.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.18-1+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your otrs2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected otrs, and otrs2 packages.
