added DBDIRNODE for munin-node and remove File::Path as it is no longer needed. Update to 2.0.6, and bug fixes Added init files for asyncd Updated to 2.0.5 Update to munin 2

Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart_ plugin.

Updated munin packages fix security vulnerabilities :

The qmailscan plugin for Munin before 2.0 rc6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names (CVE-2012-2103).

Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart_ plugin (CVE-2012-3512).

munin-cgi-graph in Munin before 2.0.6, when running as a CGI module under Apache, allows remote attackers to load new configurations and create files in arbitrary directories via the logdir command (CVE-2012-3513).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201405-17 (Munin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Munin. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary       files with the privileges of the user running the application.
    A remote attacker could create files or load new Munin configuration       files.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

It was discovered that the Munin qmailscan plugin incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could use this issue to possibly overwrite arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 11.10, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-2103)

It was discovered that Munin incorrectly handled plugin state file permissions. An attacker obtaining privileges of the munin user could use this issue to escalate privileges to root. (CVE-2012-3512)

It was discovered that Munin incorrectly handled specifying an alternate configuration file. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2012-3513).

[ Christoph Biedl ]

  - munin-node: more secure state file handling, introducing     a new plugin state directory root, owned by uid 0. Then     each plugin runs in its own UID plugin state directory,     owned by that UID. (Closes: #684075), (Closes: #679897),     closes CVE-2012-3512.

  - plugins: use runtime $ENV{MUNIN_PLUGSTATE}. So all     properly written plugins will use     /var/lib/munin-node/plugin-state/$uid/$some_file now -     please report plugins that are still using     /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/ - as those might pose a     security risk!

  - Validate multigraph plugin name, CVE-2013-6048.

  - Don't abort data collection for a node due to malicious     node, fixing munin#1397, CVE-2013-6359.

Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool. Versions of Munin prior to 2.0.6 are affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The qmailscan plugin allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names (CVE-2012-2103).
  - Munin stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart_ plugin (CVE-2012-3512).
  - munin-cgi-graph, when running as a CGI module under Apache, allows remote attackers to load new configurations and create files in arbitrary directories via the logdir command (CVE-2012-3513)
