CVE-2017-16882: Icinga

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Icinga Core through 1.14.0 initially executes bin/icinga as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have etc/icinga.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account, a related issue to CVE-2017-14312. This also affects bin/icingastats, bin/ido2db, and bin/log2ido.

Affected products

• Icinga Icinga: up to and including 1.14.0
