<p>
|
|
Monit is a system administration utility that allows management and
|
|
monitoring of processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix
|
|
system.

|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A denial of service may occur due to Monit not sanitizing remotely
|
|
supplied HTTP parameters before passing them to memory allocation
|
|
functions. This could allow an attacker to cause an unexpected
|
|
condition that could lead to the Monit daemon crashing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
An overly long http request method may cause a buffer overflow due to
|
|
Monit performing insufficient bounds checking when handling HTTP
|
|
requests.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker may crash the Monit daemon to create a denial of service
|
|
condition or cause a buffer overflow that would allow arbitrary code to
|
|
be executed with root privileges.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
|
|
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Monit users should upgrade to version 4.2 or later:
|
|
</p>
