SCA: security update for linuxfabrik-lib (GHSA-rh9c-rqvg-f7pr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446088

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - linuxfabrik-lib provides Python modules for database access, caching, shell execution, and API
 integrations, and Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins uses its shared testing helper across check plugins.
 Prior to linuxfabrik-lib 6.1.0 and Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins 7.0.0, lib.lftest.test() treated the
 first or second element of a --test CSV argument as a filesystem path and returned the file contents as
 simulated standard output or standard error without path confinement. The hidden but production-accessible
 --test argument was accepted by sudo-authorized plugins, so an attacker controlling the nagios or icinga
 account could use check-plugins/deb-updates/deb-updates with its default QUERY=1 to disclose every line of
 a root-readable file. Approximately 22 other plugins exposed filtered content or a root file existence and
 readability oracle through the same helper, while check-plugins/network-bonding/network-bonding and check-
 plugins/openstack-swift-stat/openstack-swift-stat had direct read paths that bypassed the helper. The
 library fix confines fixture reads to the invoking plugin's unit-test directory and refuses unsafe
 anchors, and the plugin fix routes the two bypasses through that helper. These issues are fixed in
 linuxfabrik-lib 6.1.0 and Linuxfabrik Monitoring Plugins 7.0.0. (CVE-2026-73974)

Solution

Update the linuxfabrik-lib library and its related packages to version 6.1.0 or later.
