Title:	Nagios Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary:	Nagios is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Nagios is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: Nagios Core initially executes /usr/sbin/nagios as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have nagios.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account. Affected Software/OS: Nagios 4.3.4 and prior. Solution: No known solution was made available for at least one year since the disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one. CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
