Debian DSA-2150-1 : request-tracker3.6 - unsalted password hashing

medium Nessus Plugin ID 51665

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that Request Tracker, an issue tracking system, stored passwords in its database by using an insufficiently strong hashing method. If an attacker would have access to the password database, he could decode the passwords stored in it.

Solution

Upgrade the Request Tracker packages.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.7-5+lenny5.
