    Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered a buffer
    overflow vulnerability in the handling of a negative HTTP
    Content-Length header.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A buffer overflow in Nagios CGI scripts under certain web servers
    allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative
    content length HTTP header.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Nagios users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/nagios-core-1.4.1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
