Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2015-5475   CVE-2015-6506  

It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack via the user and group rights management pages (CVE-2015-5475) and via the cryptography interface, allowing an attacker with a carefully-crafted key to inject JavaScript into RT's user interface. Installations which use neither GnuPG nor S/MIME are unaffected by the second cross-site scripting vulnerability. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.7-5+deb7u4. The oldstable distribution (wheezy) is only affected by CVE-2015-5475. For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.8-3+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.11-2. We recommend that you upgrade your request-tracker4 packages.
