Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-16
(Multiple new security vulnerabilities in monit)
Monit has several vulnerabilities in its HTTP interface : a buffer overflow
vulnerability in the authentication handling code and a off-by-one error in
the POST method handling code.
Impact :
An attacker may exploit the off-by-one error to crash the Monit daemon and
create a denial of service condition, or cause a buffer overflow that would
allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges.
Workaround :
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
