NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nagios3 package and not the nagios3 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Fedora Nagios package uses "nagiosadmin" as the default password for the "nagiosadmin" administrator account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging knowledge of the credentials.
