This Advisory covers three vulnerabilities in the OTRS-System-Core.

SQL-Injection via UNION

  Missing security quoting for SQL statements allows agents the
  manipulation of SQL queries. So it's possible to inject SQL queries
  via UNION statements.

  A malicious user may be able to login successfully without valid
  credentials. Authentication mechanisms other than the database 
  backend authentication are not affected.

  Authenticated users can use this vulnerabilitiy to get records from
  other OTRS database tables. This informations can be used for
  other attacks like session hijacking.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dieses Advisory adressiert drei Sicherheitsluecken im OTRS-Systemkern.

SQL-Injection per UNION

  Fehlende Sicherheitsueberpruefungen fuer SQL-Statements ermoeglichen
  einem angemeldeten Benutzer die Manipulation von Abfragen. Per UNION
  lassen sich beliebige SELECT-Statements einschleusen, welche dann von
  der Datenbank verarbeitet werden.

  Ein Angreifer kann diese Schwachstelle gezielt ausnutzen, um das
  Ergebnis einer Anfrage so zu manipulieren, dass eine Benutzeranmeldung
  trotz ungueltiger Anmeldedaten erfolgreich ist. Er kann so unbefugt
  Zugang zum OTRS erhalten. Anfaellig fuer derartige Angriffe sind
  Installationen, welche einen Benutzer gegen eine SQL-Datenbank
  authentisieren.
