Summary

zabbix_agentd in Zabbix before 1.8.6 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by executing the vfs.file.cksum command for a special device, as demonstrated by the /dev/urandom device.

      - An input validation error exists in the script
        'acknow.php' that allows arbitrary script or HTML
        injection via the 'backurl' parameter. (CVE-2011-2904)
    
      - An error exists related to 'zabbix_agentd' and
        'vfs.file.cksum'. An attacker could cause excessive CPU
        usage if the 'vfs.file.cksum' command is pointed at a
        special device such as '/dev/urandom'. (CVE-2011-3263)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
        script 'popup.php' because the 'srcfld2' parameter is
        not properly checked. This vulnerability can reveal
        sensitive information such as the application's install
        path. (CVE-2011-3264)
    
    Note that Nessus has not tested for these flaws but has instead relied
    on the version in the Zabbix login page."
