Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-analyzer/nagios-core*< 4.3.4>= 4.3.4

Background

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.

Description

A vulnerability in Nagios was discovered due to the improper handling of configuration files which can be owned by a non-root user.

Impact

A local attacker can escalate privileges to root by leveraging access to a non-root owned configuration file.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/nagios-core-4.3.4"

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-analyzer/nagios-core*< 4.3.3>= 4.3.3

Background

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Nagios. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly escalate privileges to root, thus allowing the execution of arbitrary code, by leveraging CVE-2016-9565. Additionally, a local attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition against arbitrary processes due to the improper dropping of privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/nagios-core-4.3.3"

net-analyzer/nagios-core*< 4.2.4>= 4.2.4

Background

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Nagios. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A local attacker, who either is already Nagios’s system user or belongs to Nagios’s group, could potentially escalate privileges.

In addition, a remote attacker could read or write to arbitrary files by spoofing a crafted response from the Nagios RSS feed server.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/nagios-core-4.2.4"

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-analyzer/nagios-core*< 3.0.6-r2>= 3.0.6-r2

Background

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Nagios:

  • Paul reported that statuswml.cgi does not properly sanitize shell metacharacters in the (1) ping and (2) traceroute parameters (CVE-2009-2288).
  • Nagios does not properly verify whether an authenticated user is authorized to run certain commands (CVE-2008-5027).
  • Andreas Ericsson reported that Nagios does not perform validity checks to verify HTTP requests, leading to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CVE-2008-5028).
  • An unspecified vulnerability in Nagios related to CGI programs, "adaptive external commands," and "writing newlines and submitting service comments" has been reported (CVE-2008-6373).

Impact

A remote authenticated or unauthenticated attacker may exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary commands or elevate privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/nagios-core-3.0.6-r2"

NOTE: Users of the Nagios 2 branch can update to version 2.12-r1 which contains a patch to fix CVE-2009-2288. However, that branch is not supported upstream or in Gentoo and we are unaware whether the other vulnerabilities affect 2.x installations.

Background

Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of a negative HTTP Content-Length header.

Impact

A buffer overflow in Nagios CGI scripts under certain web servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative content length HTTP header.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.
