Debian DSA-1420-1 : zabbix - programming error

low Nessus Plugin ID 29227

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Bas van Schaik discovered that the agentd process of Zabbix, a network monitor system, may run user-supplied commands as group id root, not zabbix, which may lead to a privilege escalation.

zabbix is not included in the oldstable distribution (sarge).

Solution

Upgrade the zabbix packages.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.1.4-10etch1.
