Best Practical Solutions RT 3.8.x before 3.8.15 and 4.0.x before 4.0.8, when GnuPG is enabled, allows remote attackers to configure encryption or signing for certain outbound e-mail, and possibly cause a denial of service (loss of e-mail readability), via an e-mail message to a queue's address.

Best Practical Solutions RT 3.8.x before 3.8.15 and 4.0.x before 4.0.8, when GnuPG is enabled with a "Sign by default" queue configuration, uses a queue's key for signing, which might allow remote attackers to spoof messages by leveraging the lack of authentication semantics.

Best Practical Solutions RT 3.8.x before 3.8.15 and 4.0.x before 4.0.8, when GnuPG is enabled, does not ensure that the UI labels unencrypted messages as unencrypted, which might make it easier for remote attackers to spoof details of a message's origin or interfere with encryption-policy auditing via an e-mail message to a queue's address.

It was found that Request Tracker, a ticket tracking and management system, stored user passwords in its database by using insufficiently secure hashing algorithm. A local attacker, able to gain read access to the RT's database could use this flaw to conduct brute force password guessing attacks, potentially leading to disclosure of users' passwords.
