CVE ID         : CVE-2014-9472 CVE-2015-1165 CVE-2015-1464 

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.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed
in version 3.8.8-7+squeeze9.

We recommend that you upgrade your request-tracker3.8 packages.
