Synopsis

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

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2014-9472 Christian Loos discovered a remote denial of service vulnerability, exploitable via the email gateway and affecting any installation which accepts mail from untrusted sources. Depending on RT's logging configuration, a remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause CPU and excessive disk usage.

- CVE-2015-1165 Christian Loos discovered an information disclosure flaw which may reveal RSS feeds URLs, and thus ticket data.

- CVE-2015-1464 It was discovered that RSS feed URLs can be leveraged to perform session hijacking, allowing a user with the URL to log in as the user that created the feed.

Solution

Upgrade the request-tracker4 packages.
