Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Request Tracker (RT), an issue tracking system.

- CVE-2012-4730 Authenticated users can add arbitrary headers or content to mail generated by RT.

- CVE-2012-4732 A CSRF vulnerability may allow attackers to toggle ticket bookmarks.

- CVE-2012-4734 If users follow a crafted URI and log in to RT, they may trigger actions which would ordinarily blocked by the CSRF prevention logic.

- CVE-2012-6578, CVE-2012-6579, CVE-2012-6580, CVE-2012-6581

Several different vulnerabilities in GnuPG processing allow attackers to cause RT to improperly sign outgoing email.

- CVE-2012-4884 If GnuPG support is enabled, authenticated users can create arbitrary files as the web server user, which may enable arbitrary code execution.

Please note that if you run request-tracker3.8 under the Apache web server, you must stop and start Apache manually. The 'restart' mechanism is not recommended, especially when using mod_perl.

Solution

Upgrade the request-tracker3.8 packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.8.8-7+squeeze6.
