We have determined a number of security vulnerabilities in commonly
installed RT extensions, enumerated below. You can determine which, if
any, of these extensions your RT installation is using by navigating to
Configuration -> Tools -> System Configuration, and examining the
"Plugins" configuration setting.

We have released updated versions of each vulnerable extension.
Installation instructions for each are included in a README file in each
extension's tarball. You need only download and upgrade these
extensions if you have a previous version of them installed; RT
installations with none of the below extensions installed are not
vulnerable, and do not need to take action.


RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 0.10 and below (for all versions of RT) are
vulnerable to an escalation of privilege attack where the URL of a RSS
feed of the user can be used to acquire a fully logged-in session as
that user. CVE-2012-2770 has been assigned to this vulnerability.

Users of RT 3.8.2 and above should upgrade to RT::Authen::ExternalAuth
0.11, which resolves this vulnerability. Because users of RT 3.8.1
cannot run RT::Authen::ExternalAuth later then 0.08 (due to bugs in
plugin handling code in RT 3.8.1), we are also providing a patch which
applies to RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 0.08. This patch should only be
applied if you are running RT 3.8.1 and RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 0.08.
Instructions for applying the patch can be found in the patch file
itself.

RT::FM versions 2.0.4 through 2.4.3, inclusive, are vulnerable to
multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in the topic administration
page. CVE-2012-2768 has been assigned to this vulnerability. This
release also includes updates for compatibility with RT 3.8.12. As RT
4.0 and above bundle RT::FM's functionality, and resolved this
vulnerability in RT 4.0.6, this update is only applicable to
installations of RT 3.8.

cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. CVE-2012-2769 has been assigned to

RT::Extension::MobileUI's functionality, and resolved this vulnerability
in RT 4.0.6, this update is only applicable to installations of RT 3.8.
