Stack-based buffer overflow in the cmd_submitf function in cgi/cmd.c in Nagios Core, possibly 4.0.3rc1 and earlier, and Icinga before 1.8.6, 1.9 before 1.9.5, and 1.10 before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a long message to cmd.cgi.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-1878 is a remote denial-of-service issue in Nagios Core and Icinga command CGI handling. A long message submitted to cmd.cgi can crash the monitoring service component. The main business risk is loss or disruption of monitoring visibility, especially for internet-reachable or broadly accessible monitoring portals. Exposure is most likely where legacy Nagios Core or Icinga command CGI interfaces remain deployed and reachable by remote users. Internet-facing monitoring consoles or weakly restricted internal admin portals carry higher operational risk. Treat this as a legacy monitoring resilience issue. It is not sourced as actively exploited, but a crash in monitoring infrastructure can hide other incidents and delay response. Prioritize systems that are internet-facing, unsupported, or shared across critical operations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Icinga to 1.8.6, 1.9.5, 1.10.3, or later as applicable.; Apply supported distribution security updates for Nagios packages.; Check Nagios Core vendor guidance for the correct fixed version..
