The dashboard subscription interface in Request Tracker (RT) 4.x before 4.0.25, 4.2.x before 4.2.14, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 might allow remote authenticated users with certain privileges to execute arbitrary code via a crafted saved search name.

CVE-2017-5943 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5943):

Request Tracker (RT) 4.x before 4.0.25, 4.2.x before 4.2.14, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about cross-site request forgery (CSRF) verification tokens via a crafted URL.

CVE-2017-5361 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5361):

Request Tracker (RT) 4.x before 4.0.25, 4.2.x before 4.2.14, and 4.4.x before 4.4.2 does not use a constant-time comparison algorithm for secrets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive user password information via a timing side-channel attack.
