CVE-2013-1362

Published: 9 July 2013

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in nrpc.c in Nagios Remote Plug-In Executor (NRPE) before 2.14 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via "$()" shell metacharacters, which are processed by bash.

Notes

AuthorNote

This is a problem but requires 'dont_blame_nrpe' to be set in
/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. This is set to '0' in Ubuntu and there are significant
warnings in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg about the security risks of enabling
external command arguments.

Priority

Low
