+ fabiodds reported a boundary checking error in the "check_snmp" plugin
+ when processing SNMP "GET" replies that could lead to a stack-based
+ buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5623). Nobuhiro Ban reported a boundary
+ checking error in the redir() function of the "check_http" plugin when
+ processing HTTP "Location:" header information which might lead to a
+ buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5198).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Nagios or cause
+ a Denial of Service by (1) sending a specially crafted SNMP "GET" reply
+ to the Nagios daemon or (2) sending an overly long string in the
+ "Location:" header of an HTTP reply. Note that to exploit (2), the
+ malicious or compromised web server has to be configured in Nagios and
+ the "-f" (follow) option has to be enabled.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users of the Nagios Plugins should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-1.4.10-r1"</code>
