The API in Zabbix before 1.8.20rc1, 2.0.x before 2.0.11rc1, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2rc1 allows remote authenticated users to spoof arbitrary users via the user name in a user.login request.

The logrotate configuration had no su statement in 2.0.11-2.
Furthermore, the log file should have been created as zabbixsrv:zabbix for the proxy and server, what they are now.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Zabbix listening on the remote host is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists related to LDAP authentication that     could disclose the LDAP bind password. (CVE-2013-5572)

  - An error exists related to HTTP authentication, the API     function 'user.login' call and user switching that could     allow a security bypass. (CVE-2014-1682)

  - An error exists related to the user type 'Zabbix Admin'     that could allow unauthorized application changes that     should be reserved only for the user type 'Zabbix Super     Admin'. (CVE-2014-1685)

Note that Nessus has not tested for thes issues but has instead relied only the version in the Zabbix login page.
