Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5181 advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system. CVE-2022-25802 It was discovered that Request Tracker is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack when displaying attachment content with fraudulent content types. Additionally it was discovered that Request Tracker did not perform full rights checks on accesses to file or image type custom fields, possibly allowing access to these custom fields by users without rights to access to the associated objects, resulting in information disclosure. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 4.4.3-2+deb10u2. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 4.4.4+dfsg-2+deb11u2. We recommend that you upgrade your request- tracker4 packages.
