Description fredrik@mikker.se 2017-01-10 11:06:08 UTC

Description of problem: When using hostnames in the configuration option "allowed_hosts" and one (in this case the first) hostname is removed from DNS, the agent will refuse connections from all nodes listed after the first one, that failed to resolve.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nrpe-2.15-7

How reproducible: Often

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the "allowed_hosts" directive to use multiple hostnames
2. Restart the agent
3. Remove the first hostname from DNS so it isn't possible to resolve.

Actual results: The second hostname defined in allowed_hosts is refused by the agent since it can't lookup the first one.

Expected results: Normal operations, the agent can lookup the second directive in allowed_hosts.

Additional info: This issue has been fixed in version 3.0 and 3.0.1 upstream by John Frickson :
Changelog: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/blob/3.0.1/Changelog
Commit: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/commit/4e52e17aaf1fecf0a2a95dd30d015333d618b30c

The 3.0 update also fixes numerous other issues that would be valuable to get in the EPEL release, a selection from the changelog:

- allowed_hosts doesn't work with a hostname resolving to an IPv6 address (John Frickson)
- check_nrpe does not parse passed arguments correctly (John Frickson)
- NRPE should not start if cannot write pid file (John Frickson)
- Fixed out-of-bounds error (return code 255) for some failures (John Frickson)

Improved security:
- Reworked SSL/TLS. See the README.SSL.md file for full info. (John Frickson) https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/blob/3.0.1/README.SSL.md
