Confirmed in latest upstream nagios-plugins-1.4.16-80-g08f5 This issue has been reported upstream: http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=451 Created nagios-plugins tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 994781] Acknowledgements: This issue was discovered by Grant Murphy of the Red Hat Product Security Team. |
Found during an audit of openstack and all its dependencies. Error: nagios-plugins-1.4.16-6.el6ost/nagios-plugins-1.4.16/contrib/check_ipxping.c #define IPXPING_COMMAND "/tmp/ipxping/ipxping" The IPXPING_COMMAND is used to build command line that is executed later on using execv. As this is a predictable location in a public area a local attacker may place their own file in that location or symlink to another command. AFAICT little or no checks are made about the file permissions or ownership.
