Patch for EL5

This should apply cleanly to the el5 branch in git.  I have not built this package, as I updated my few EL5 systems to 2.15-2 when I was hit by this vulnerability last year.

Comment 17 Todd Zullinger 2015-09-15 00:39:10 UTC
This was closed by bodhi inadvertently, I believe.  There is still no patch or build for the el5 branch.  I submitted a patch in comment #6.

Are there any maintainers of nrpe reading this who could take a look and apply the patch if there are no issues?  It's pretty straight forward as it's the same patch applied to the other branches.

As I stated in comment #5, this has been actively exploited.

Comment 18 Fedora Update System 2015-09-18 18:31:17 UTC
nrpe-2.15-7.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 19 Todd Zullinger 2015-09-18 21:34:12 UTC
Once again, this was closed incorrectly by bodhi.  I don't know why the Fedora updates would be referencing the EPEL bug in the first place, but they are.

In any case, this issue is still unresolved on EL5.  Does anyone care that it's been vulnerable and actively exploited for over a year?
