Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the get_history function in history.cgi in Nagios Core before 3.4.4, and Icinga 1.6.x before 1.6.2, 1.7.x before 1.7.4, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) host_name variable (host parameter) or (2) svc_description variable.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Nagios Core and Icinga monitoring web interfaces contain stack buffer overflows in history.cgi. A long host or service-description value could let a remote attacker crash the service or potentially run code. This matters most where legacy monitoring portals remain reachable on internal or external networks. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy Nagios Core or Icinga 1.x web CGI interfaces. Risk rises if history.cgi is reachable by untrusted users or exposed beyond a tightly controlled administration network. Prioritize remediation if legacy monitoring systems remain in use, especially because monitoring tools often have privileged operational visibility. Treat this as high urgency for exposed or poorly segmented web interfaces; otherwise schedule prompt legacy cleanup. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Nagios Core to 3.4.4 or later.; Upgrade Icinga 1.6.x, 1.7.x, or 1.8.x to the fixed releases.; Apply Debian, openSUSE, or other vendor security packages where applicable..
