Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-4701 is a local information-disclosure flaw in Nagios Plugins check_dhcp before 2.0.2. A user with local access could make the plugin read sensitive INI configuration data. Business urgency depends on whether legacy Nagios plugin packages remain installed and whether local shell access is broadly available. Exposure is most likely on older monitoring hosts running Nagios Plugins 2.0.1 or earlier with check_dhcp available to local users. Internet-facing exposure is not supported by the provided sources; this is described as a local-user issue. Prioritize during legacy monitoring cleanup or when monitoring servers have many local users. Escalate if those hosts store credentials or administrative configuration in INI files. Mitigation focus: Inventory Nagios Plugins versions on monitoring servers.; Upgrade Nagios Plugins to 2.0.2 or later where applicable.; Restrict local shell access on monitoring hosts..
