Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Nagios Core versions 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/magpie cache when MAGPIE CACHE ON is set to 1. This is related to the rss-newsfeed.php file.

Recommendations For Nagios Core versions 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier, consider disabling the MAGPIE CACHE ON feature to prevent symlink attacks until a patch is available. Restrict access to the /tmp/magpie cache directory to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the rss-newsfeed.php file with MAGPIE CACHE ON set to 1 until the issue is resolved.
