Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nrpe' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0247 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated nrpe packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has Insufficient Filtering because, for example,

(not as the \n newline sequence). This can cause command injection
(CVE-2020-6581).

Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow, as demonstrated by
interpretation of a small negative number as a large positive number
during a bzero call (CVE-2020-6582).

Affected Software/OS:
'nrpe' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
