"The version of Best Practical Solutions Request Tracker (RT) running
on the remote web server is affected by a session fixation
vulnerability due to the application authenticating users without
invalidating their existing session ID. A remote attacker can exploit
this by tricking a user into logging in with a known session ID,
allowing the attacker to hijack the user's session.

This version of RT is reportedly affected by a different session
fixation vulnerability, though Nessus has not checked for it.");
