Descriptions

Vulnerability in Best Practical Solutions, LLC's Request Tracker v5.0.7, where the Triple DES (3DES) cryptographic algorithm is used within SMIME code to encrypt S/MIME emails. Triple DES is considered obsolete and insecure due to its susceptibility to birthday attacks, which could compromise the confidentiality of encrypted messages.

Vulnerability in Best Practical Solutions, LLC's Request Tracker prior to v5.0.8, where the Triple DES (3DES) cryptographic algorithm is used to protect emails sent with S/MIME encryption. Triple DES is considered obsolete and insecure due to its susceptibility to birthday attacks, which could compromise the confidentiality of encrypted messages.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket tracking system, which could result in information disclosure, cross-site scripting and use of weak encryption for S/MIME emails.
