Title:openSUSE: Security Advisory for NRPE (openSUSE-SU-2013:0621-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'NRPE'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'NRPE'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
NRPE (the Nagios Remote Plug-In Executor) allows the
passing of $() to plugins/scripts which, if run under bash,
will execute that shell command under a subprocess and pass
the output as a parameter to the called script. Using this,
it is possible to get called scripts, such as check_http,
to execute arbitrary commands under the uid that
NRPE/nagios is running as (typically, 'nagios').

With this update NRPE will deny remote requests containing
a bash command substitution.

Affected Software/OS:
NRPE on openSUSE 12.2, openSUSE 12.1

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
