Summary:
USN-3253-1 introduced a regression in Nagios.
Software Description:
– nagios3: host/service/network monitoring and management system
Details:
USN-3253-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Nagios. The update prevented log files
from being displayed in the web interface. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Nagios incorrectly handled certain long strings. A
remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause Nagios to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive
information. (CVE-2013-7108, CVE-2013-7205)
It was discovered that Nagios incorrectly handled certain long messages to
cmd.cgi. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Nagios to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-1878)

accessing log files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to
