Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nagios-common package and not the nagios-common package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

MagpieRSS, as used in the front-end component in Nagios Core before 4.2.2 might allow remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files by spoofing a crafted response from the Nagios RSS feed server. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4796.
