Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

nagios-common

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2:1.3-0+pre6ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2:1.3-cvs.20050402-4ubuntu3.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

The nagios CGI scripts did not sufficiently check the validity of the HTTP Content-Length attribute. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request with a negative Content-Length value to the Nagios server, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with web server privileges.

Please note that the Apache 2 web server already checks for valid Content-Length values, so installations using Apache 2 (the only web server officially supported in Ubuntu) are not vulnerable to this flaw.
