Descriptions

Nagios Core before 4.3.3 creates a nagios.lock PID file after dropping privileges to a non-root account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by leveraging access to this non-root account for nagios.lock modification before a root script executes a "kill `cat /pathname/nagios.lock`" command.

Nagios Core en versiones anteriores a la 4.3.3 crea un archivo nagios.lock PID tras eliminar privilegios a una cuenta no-root, lo que podría permitir que usuarios locales terminen procesos arbitrarios aprovechando el acceso a esta cuenta no-root para modificar nagios.lock antes de que un script root ejecute un comando "kill `cat /pathname/nagios.lock`".
