  <background>
    <p>
    Nagios is an open source host, service and network monitoring program.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Nagios:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    Paul reported that statuswml.cgi does not properly sanitize shell
    metacharacters in the (1) ping and (2) traceroute parameters
    (CVE-2009-2288).
    </li>
    <li>
    Nagios does not properly verify whether an authenticated user is
    authorized to run certain commands (CVE-2008-5027).
    </li>
    <li>
    Andreas Ericsson reported that Nagios does not perform validity checks
    to verify HTTP requests, leading to Cross-Site Request Forgery
    (CVE-2008-5028).
    </li>
    <li>
    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).
    </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote authenticated or unauthenticated attacker may exploit these
    vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary commands or elevate privileges.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/nagios-core-3.0.6-r2"</code>
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
