high Nessus Plugin ID 138954

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202007-31 (Icinga: Root privilege escalation)

 It was discovered that Icinga’s installed files have insecure permissions, possibly allowing root privilege escalation.
 Impact :

 A local attacker could escalate privileges to root.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

Gentoo has discontinued support for Icinga. We recommend that users unmerge Icinga:
 # emerge --unmerge 'net-analyzer/icinga' NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Icinga have discontinued support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update Icinga at a later date. The natural replacement is Icinga 2 (net-analyzer/icinga2).
