41 source host, service and network monitoring program.

46 fabiodds reported a boundary checking error in the "check_snmp" plugin
47 when processing SNMP "GET" replies that could lead to a stack-based
48 buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5623). Nobuhiro Ban reported a boundary
49 checking error in the redir() function of the "check_http" plugin when
50 processing HTTP "Location:" header information which might lead to a
51 buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5198).

54 <impact type="high">
55 <p>
56 A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
57 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Nagios or cause
58 a Denial of Service by (1) sending a specially crafted SNMP "GET" reply
59 to the Nagios daemon or (2) sending an overly long string in the
60 "Location:" header of an HTTP reply. Note that to exploit (2), the
61 malicious or compromised web server has to be configured in Nagios and
62 the "-f" (follow) option has to be enabled.
63 </p>
64 </impact>
65 <workaround>
66 <p>
67 There is no known workaround at this time.
68 </p>
69 </workaround>
70 <resolution>
71 <p>
72 All users of the Nagios Plugins should upgrade to the latest version:
73 </p>
74 <code>
75 # emerge --sync
76 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-1.4.10-r1&quot;</code>
77 </resolution>
