Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Icinga installs files with insecure permissions allowing root privilege |
19 |
escalation. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Icinga is an open source computer system and network monitoring |
25 |
application. It was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system |
26 |
monitoring application in 2009. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 net-analyzer/icinga < 1.14.2 Vulnerable! |
35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
36 |
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate |
37 |
to another package if one is available or wait for the |
38 |
existing packages to be marked stable by their |
39 |
architecture maintainers. |
40 |
|
41 |
Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
It was discovered that Icinga's installed files have insecure |
45 |
permissions, possibly allowing root privilege escalation. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A local attacker could escalate privileges to root. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
Gentoo has discontinued support for Icinga. We recommend that users |
61 |
unmerge Icinga: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --unmerge "net-analyzer/icinga" |
64 |
|
65 |
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Icinga have discontinued |
66 |
support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer |
67 |
will update Icinga at a later date. The natural replacement is Icinga 2 |
68 |
(net-analyzer/icinga2). |
