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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Request Tracker issue affecting legacy RT 3.8 and 4.0 deployments with GnuPG enabled. An email sent to a queue address could influence encryption or signing behavior for some outbound email, potentially making messages unreadable. The source bundle does not show data theft, code execution, or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy RT 3.8.x or 4.0.x systems that still accept inbound queue email and have GnuPG enabled. Systems on RT 3.8.15, RT 4.0.8, or later are not described as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a targeted legacy-system cleanup item. It is not shown as actively exploited, but exposed support queues can affect customer or operational communications if outdated RT and GnuPG remain in use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RT 3.8.x to 3.8.15 or later.; Upgrade RT 4.0.x to 4.0.8 or later.; Identify any legacy RT instances still using GnuPG..
