Description:
Updated nrpe packages fix security vulnerability:
NRPE (the Nagios Remote Plug-In Executor) allows the passing of $() to
plugins/scripts which, if run under bash, will execute that shell command
under a subprocess and pass the output as a parameter to the called script.
Using this, it is possible to get called scripts, such as check_http, to
execute arbitrary commands under the uid that NRPE/nagios is running as
(typically, 'nagios') (CVE-2013-1362).
With this update NRPE will deny remote requests containing a bash command
substitution.
