  <background>
    <p>Icinga is an open source computer system and network monitoring
      application. It was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system
      monitoring application in 2009.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that Icinga’s installed files have insecure
      permissions, possibly allowing root privilege escalation.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>A local attacker could escalate privileges to root.</p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>Gentoo has discontinued support for Icinga. We recommend that users
      unmerge Icinga:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --unmerge "net-analyzer/icinga"
    </code>
    
    <p>NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining Icinga have discontinued
      support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will
      update Icinga at a later date. The natural replacement is Icinga 2
      (net-analyzer/icinga2).
    </p>
