Repoforge folks,
It seems that the latest repoforge nagios (3.2.3) and icinga (1.7.2) as
well as earlier versions have known vulnerabilities and exploits.

Nagios Core 3.4.4 and Icinga 1.8.4 address this.
I'm humbly requesting updates for these.
Apologies in advance if I'm requesting this in the wrong way.
If anyone has suggestions for securing history.cgi in the meantime, I'd
appreciate that as well.
Look at the patches I've put in the various git trees for their release.
Upstream fixes active Icinga release trees 1.6.x 1.7.x and 1.8.x for the
sole reason of active package releases. (Ok, Debian Squeeze with 1.0.2
was fun for the packager).

So if you consider staying on the 1.7.x tree with your setup, try the
tarball and the specfile. The patch backported into that tree can also
be found there, and applies cleanly against 1.7.1 as well (Debian
release for Wheezy).
https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/r1.7
Even if 1.7.4 will never hit repoforge you will still have a valid
upgrade path, since I've pushed the upttodate spec file for 1.8.4 on the
day I've released Icinga 1.8.4
Though, I would clearly opt for a new Icinga build for newer package
revisions. 1.8.x is the main supported tree, and 1.9.x will hit the
stage soon (April 2013).
For Nagios - some might test the patch for 3.4.x against 3.2.3. I
wouldn't opt just for for cve reasons to get a fully broken feature
version into repoforge without proper testing. but that's left for
anyone capable of testing nagios releases.
kind regards,
Michael
