Re: [Nagios-devel] fix request

Post by Guest »

Hi Marc,


- new feature, functions
- or bugs which affect the application itself
IS not a reason to upgrade to new version of Nagios or any application
as a consultant you have to bring enough arguments for an upgrade.

BUT a security bug, which is not only affecting Nagios
but the whole system it is running on,
needs special attention and should be fixed asap
=20
ON all versions of Nagios provides for download (as patch)
OR
atleast a workaround

Regards,

Badri
