Description Ralf Corsepius 2009-06-19 06:33:10 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #506236 +++

New RT upstream versions 3.6.8 and 3.8.4 were released, mentioning following security fix:

  The most important fix is that RT now requires the SuperUser
  right to edit global RT at a Glance.  In all previous 3.8
  releases, the "ShowConfigTab" right unintentionally enabled this.
  If you have not granted this right to any non-administrative user,
  then this issue should not affect you.

Upstream announcements contain patches that can be used with older versions instead of moving to new upstream version.


As a "quick fix", I am going to apply the patch from
http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-announce/2009-June/000170.html
to the FC10 and FC11 packages (both currently at rt-3.8.2), because the side-effects of upgrading to rt-3.8.4 currently are not sufficently clear to me and appear as to seems too risky (at least for now).
