Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1151-1
June 15, 2011
nagios3 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
An attacker could modify or steal data if you were tricked into clicking on
a special link to Nagios.
Software Description:
- nagios3: A host/service/network monitoring and management system
Details:
Stefan Schurtz discovered than Nagios did not properly sanitize its input
when processing certain requests, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were
tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a
remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal
confidential data, within the same domain.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.04:
nagios3-cgi 3.2.3-1ubuntu1.2
Ubuntu 10.10:
nagios3-cgi 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.2
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
nagios3-cgi 3.2.0-4ubuntu2.2
After a standard system update you need to restart Nagios to make
all the necessary changes.
