CVE-2012-6096: Buffer Overflow

First published: Wed Jan 09 2013(Updated: )

It was reported [1] that Nagios Core's history.cgi is vulnerable to a buffer overflow because it used sprintf on user-supplied data that was not restricted in size. Due to various protections of the operating system (history.cgi is compiled with SSP, FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled, etc.) this is not believed to be exploitable and would result in a denial of service to the user sending the input to history.cgi. This has been fixed in svn (r2547)[2].
