Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Ethan Galstad Nagios (Log Management Software). This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in Nagios before 3.0.6 has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors related to CGI programs, "adaptive external commands," and "writing newlines and submitting service comments."

The weakness was presented 12/04/2008 with Nagios (Website). The advisory is shared at nagios.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-6373 since 03/02/2009.
