Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system.

CVE-2023-41259

Tom Wolters reported that Request Tracker is vulnerable to accepting
unvalidated RT email headers in incoming email and the mail-gateway REST
interface.

CVE-2023-41260

Tom Wolters reported that Request Tracker is vulnerable to information
leakage via response messages returned from requests sent via the
mail-gateway REST interface

Even if these issues have been fixed, it is strongly recommended to ensure that .../REST/1.0/NoAuth is only accessible for host(s) that run rt-mailgate for submitting email to RT. This is often the system which has request-tracker4 installed. The sample configurations supplied by these packages for Apache2 and Nginx restrict access to localhost only.



For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.4.1-3+deb9u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your request-tracker4 packages.
