Descriptions

PNP4Nagios through 0.6.26 has /usr/bin/npcd and npcd.cfg owned by an unprivileged account but root code execution depends on these files, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this unprivileged account.

En PNP4Nagios hasta la versión 0.6.26, /usr/bin/npcd y npcd.cfg son propiedad de una cuenta sin privilegios, pero la ejecución de código root depende de estos archivos. Esto permite que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios aprovechando el acceso a esta cuenta sin privilegios.

A vulnerability in PNP4Nagios which may allow local attackers to gain root privileges. Versions less than 0.6.26-r9 are affected.
