Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: nagios security update

Severity

Moderate

Notes

Topic: Updated nagios packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack 3.0. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Details: Nagios is a program that can monitor hosts and services on your network. It can send email or page alerts when problems arise and when problems are resolved. Multiple insecure temporary file creation flaws were found in Nagios. A local attacker could use these flaws to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten as the root user via a symbolic link attack. (CVE-2013-2029, CVE-2013-4214) These issues were discovered by Grant Murphy of the Red Hat Product Security Team. All users of Nagios are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

CVE-2013-2029

nagios.upgrade_to_v3.sh, as distributed by Red Hat and possibly others for Nagios Core 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary nagioscfg file with a predictable name in /tmp/.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
