CVE-2017-14312 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Nagios Core through 4.3.4 initially executes /usr/sbin/nagios as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have nagios.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account.. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
