CVE-2020-6581: Fedoraproject Fedora

High severity, CVSS 7.3. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Nagios NRPE 3.2.1 has Insufficient Filtering because, for example, nasty_metachars interprets \n as the character \ and the character n (not as the \n newline sequence). This can cause command injection.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 32 only
• Nagios Remote Plug In Executor: version 3.2.1 only
