Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nagios2' package(s) announced via the USN-698-3 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that Nagios was vulnerable to a Cross-site request forgery
(CSRF) vulnerability. If an authenticated nagios user were tricked into
clicking a link on a specially crafted web page, an attacker could trigger

update alters Nagios behaviour by disabling submission of CMD_CHANGE commands.
(CVE-2008-5028)

the web interface. An authenticated user could use a custom form or a browser
addon to bypass security restrictions and submit unauthorized commands.

'nagios2' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04.

Solution:
