Re: Accepted nagios3 3.0.2-1~bpo40+1 (source i386 all)



Dear users of backports.org,

this is an urgent security upload of the latest nagios3 package which should 
hit unstable today. You may have noticed the following in the changelog:

For more information about the issue you may refer to the CVE[1] or the 
bugreport[2].
Anyways ... since nagios2 was also uploaded some time ago, but is removed from 
testing, I request to remove it from backports.org archive and strongly 
encourage you to update to nagios3.

A migration should straight forward, migrate (copy) over your conf.d/. One 
remaining issue can be solved by 
refering /usr/share/doc/nagios3/README.Debian:

If you upgrade from Nagios 2 please note that the host-notify-by-email and
notify-by-email have been renamed to notify-host-by-email and
notify-service-by-email to make the naming more intuitivly.

This can be easily done by:

sed -i s/host-notify-by-email/notify-host-by-email/g /etc/nagios3/conf.d/*
sed -i s/notify-by-email/notify-service-by-email/g /etc/nagios3/conf.d/*

With kind regards, Jan.
