DSA-3335 request-tracker4 – security update

It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket
tracking system is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack via the
user and group rights management pages (CVE-2015-5475) and via the
cryptography interface, allowing an attacker with a carefully-crafted

SAP Mobile Platform DataVault Predictable Encryption Password

The SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 SP5 has an API called DataVault, which is used to securely store data on mobile devices. The SAP DataVault has a special mechanism to generate a default set of credentials if no password/salt is supplied during the creation of the secure storage. In this mode of operation the password/salt is derived from a combination of fixed values and the VaultID belonging to the secure storage.

SAP Mobile Platform DataVault Predictable Passwords

The SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 SP5 has an API called DataVault, which is used to securely store data on mobile devices. The SAP DataVault uses a special password derived from well-known values to encrypt some configuration values like the count of invalid attempts to unlock a secure store. This password is a composition of a value which is available in plaintext form inside the secure store container, and a fixed value. Also, the salt used is fixed. Both values are statically defined by the SAP DataVault implementation, and do not depend neither on the installation nor on the usage of the DataVault.
