Versions of RT between 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 (inclusive) are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack via the email gateway; any installation which accepts mail from untrusted sources is vulnerable, regardless of the permissions configuration inside RT. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2014-1474.
This vulnerability is caused by poor parsing performance in the Email::Address::List module, which RT depends on. We recommend that affected users upgrade their version of Email::Address::List to v0.02 or above, which resolves the issue. Due to a communications mishap, the release on CPAN will temporarily appear as "unauthorized," and the command-line 'cpan' client will hence not install it. We expect this to be resolved shortly; in the meantime, the release is also available from our server: http://download.bestpractical.com/mirror/Email-Address-List-0.03.tar.gz http://download.bestpractical.com/mirror/Email-Address-List-0.03.tar.gz.sig f2e0c90b6ab9aecba9ebe0dd0e2645ece8aabd6d Email-Address-List-0.03.tar.gz 5e1f83e5e8ff2fde22a1a25aaee488d84f810389 Email-Address-List-0.03.tar.gz.sig After extracting the contents, the module can be installed by running: perl Makefile.PL make make install The first step should be sure to use the same perl that RT runs using. If you are unsure, the first line of /opt/rt4/sbin/standalone_httpd should contain the full path to the relevant perl binary. The last step will likely need to be run with root permissions. After this process, you should restart your webserver.
