Fedora 32: 2021-fc24737ebc Moderate: Monitorix Basic Auth Bypass Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey February 4, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Monitorix update for Fedora addresses a security vulnerability related to Basic Authentication, incorporating enhanced default configurations for increased protection.
Security fix for [CVE-2021-3325]

Summary

Monitorix is a free, open source and lightweight system monitoring tool

designed to monitor as many services and system resources as possible. It has

been created to be used under production Linux/UNIX servers, but due to its

simplicity and small size may also be used on embedded devices as well.

Security fix for [CVE-2021-3325]. This new version fixes a security bug

introduced in the 3.13.0 version that lead the HTTP built-in server to bypass

the Basic Authentication when the option hosts_deny is not defined, which is the

default. Besides this fix, this version also updates the main configuration

file to add the option hosts_deny = all by default inside the auth subsection,

in an attempt to make the default behaviour more clear. All users using the

3.13.0 version are advised and encouraged to upgrade to this new version, which

resolves the security issue. ---- This new version introduces three new

modules: the long-awaited pgsql.pm capable of monitoring up to 9 databases of an

unlimited number of PostgreSQL servers, the redis.pm and tinyproxy.pm which are

both also capable of monitoring an unlimited number of Redis and Tinyproxy

servers respectively. This version also includes some interesting new features.

The new CSS theming support will allow people to create their own color themes.

The new support for the ss command in port.pm and nginx.pm modules. The ability

to map the device names and also to include a title name in disk.pm module. The

new stacked visualization of network stats available on a number of modules, and

more. Also with this new version, Monitorix is able to be executed as a regular

user instead of root. This is of course subject to the capabilities of each

module to get statistics without using the superuser. The rest of new features,

changes and bugs fixed are, as always, reflected in the Changes file.
