13th percentile - higher than 13% of all known CVEs

Summary

Nagios XI versions prior to 2011R1.9 contain privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the scripts that install or update system crontab entries. Due to time-of-check/time-of-use race conditions and missing synchronization or final-path validation, a local low-privileged user could manipulate filesystem state during crontab installation to influence the files or commands executed with elevated privileges, resulting in execution with higher privileges.

Risk Assessment

A local low-privileged user can exploit race conditions to execute commands with elevated privileges, potentially leading to system compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade Nagios XI to version 2011R1.9 or later and review synchronization and path validation mechanisms in the crontab installation scripts.
