Debian DLA-20-1 : munin security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82168

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

[ Christoph Biedl ]

 - munin-node: more secure state file handling, introducing a new plugin state directory root, owned by uid 0. Then each plugin runs in its own UID plugin state directory, owned by that UID. (Closes: #684075), (Closes: #679897), closes CVE-2012-3512.

 - plugins: use runtime $ENV{MUNIN_PLUGSTATE}. So all properly written plugins will use /var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/$uid/$some_file now - please report plugins that are still using /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/ - as those might pose a security risk!

 - Validate multigraph plugin name, CVE-2013-6048.

 - Don't abort data collection for a node due to malicious node, fixing munin#1397, CVE-2013-6359.

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

Solution
