Severity: High
Title: Icinga: Root privilege escalation
Date: July 27, 2020
Bugs: #638186
ID: 202007-31
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Icinga installs files with insecure permissions allowing root privilege
escalation.
Background
==========
Icinga is an open source computer system and network monitoring
application. It was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system
monitoring application in 2009.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-analyzer/icinga < 1.14.2 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
Description
===========
It was discovered that Icinga's installed files have insecure
permissions, possibly allowing root privilege escalation.
Impact
======
A local attacker could escalate privileges to root.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
Gentoo has discontinued support for Icinga. We recommend that users
unmerge Icinga:
# emerge --unmerge "net-analyzer/icinga"
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Icinga have discontinued
support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer
will update Icinga at a later date. The natural replacement is Icinga 2
(net-analyzer/icinga2).
