*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

There is a problem with the hostgroups reports that allows restricted
contacts to see servers that do not belong to them provided they are in
the same hostgroup.

This issue was reported to the Nagios project in 2013 here (with
screenshots, sample configs, etc):
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21794

It was fixed in Nagios 4.2.2 here:
https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/commit/d1b3a07ff72ece0d296b153d4d5c8c4543ed96c1
#diff-b89a219dd5a0ac3e4e07f1dfd721dd78

This problem exists in Nagios 3.5.x that did not exist under 3.2.x,
however it seems likely that the fix in 4.2.2 could be backported to
Nagios 3.5.x.
