Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published December 1, 2017
It was found that nagios daemon creates its PID file after dropping privileges, which allows to change its content by non-root user with PID of any other process, resulting into denial-of-service when daemon is stopped (CVE-2017-12847). Note that the nagios package on Mageia 5 is no longer supported. Users of this package should upgrade to Mageia 6.
