FreeBSD : Request Tracker -- information exposure vulnerability (51498ee4-39a1-11ef-b609-002590c1f29c)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201887

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 51498ee4-39a1-11ef-b609-002590c1f29c advisory.

 Request Tracker reports:
 CVE-2024-3262 describes previously viewed pages being stored in the browser cache, which is the typical default behavior of most browsers to enable the back button. Someone who gains access to a host computer could potentially view ticket data using the back button, even after logging out of RT. The CVE specifically references RT version 4.4.1, but this behavior is present in most browsers viewing all versions of RT before 5.0.6.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
