As far as I know, Nagios 2 is not critically affected because it does
not allow you to change configuration settings through the cgis.

That said, Nagios 2 will be vulnerable to the "prankster" level attacks.

I guess porting the session id stuff to the Nagios 2 cgis wouldn't be
too hard (not that I volunteer - you wouldn't want to run a C program
I touched ;-)
