CVE-2006-2489
Integer overflow in CGI scripts in Nagios 1.x before 1.4.1 and 2.x before 2.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a content length (Content-Length) HTTP header.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
