Hi,

DB creation scripts shipped in icinga-idoutils are insecure (they grant
privileges for all users). See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767319 and:

https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-doc.git;a=commitdiff;h=619a08ca1178144b8a3a5caafff32a2d3918edab
https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=commitdiff;h=712813d3118a5b9e5a496179cab81dbe91f69d63

As far as I can tell the bug in stable is only in documentation, but in
Wheezy it affects the scripts too. Please backport the changes and only
upload a targeted fix.
hmm? we use dbconfig-common. We don't use this script, we also don't install
README.RHEL.idoutils anywhere. So this is docs only.

docs was fixed in 1.7.1, since this was released on 18.6.2012

see icinga-core.git branch r1.7, cd docbook, git pull && git log

    docs issue #2690: limit grant to icinga db

so it's a bug in a script which is shipped example wise upstream. SuSe packages are the only known pkg source using those scripts, even the repoforge rpms do not use those scripts (therefore the README.RHEL.idoutils fix by me). so this might still be an issue, but only for those manually invoking such scripts from the examples.

kind regards,
Michael
