"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200907-15
(Nagios: Execution of arbitrary code)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Nagios:
    Paul reported that statuswml.cgi does not properly sanitize shell
    metacharacters in the (1) ping and (2) traceroute parameters
    (CVE-2009-2288).
    Nagios does not properly verify whether an authenticated user is
    authorized to run certain commands (CVE-2008-5027).
    Andreas Ericsson reported that Nagios does not perform validity checks
    to verify HTTP requests, leading to Cross-Site Request Forgery
    (CVE-2008-5028).
    An unspecified vulnerability in Nagios related to CGI programs,
    'adaptive external commands,' and 'writing newlines and submitting
    service comments' has been reported (CVE-2008-6373).
  
Impact :

    A remote authenticated or unauthenticated attacker may exploit these
    vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary commands or elevate privileges.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

    NOTE: Users of the Nagios 2 branch can update to version 2.12-r1 which
    contains a patch to fix CVE-2009-2288. However, that branch is not
    supported upstream or in Gentoo and we are unaware whether the other
    vulnerabilities affect 2.x installations."
