Nagios NRPE Vulnerability Issue

Post by tinut89 »

Hi ,

Around 500 machines is getting vulnerability issue on port 5666 [Nrpe Client]

NRPE Version using on server is 2.13 which is old version I know.

Vulnerability Details.

1.TLS Server Supports TLS version 1.0
2.TLS Server Supports TLS version 1.1
3.TLS/SSL Server is enabling the BEAST attack
4.TLS/SSL Server is enabling the POODLE attack
5.TLS/SSL Server Supports RC4 Cipher Algorithms (CVE-2013-2566)
6.TLS/SSL Server Supports The Use of Static Key Ciphers


Is there any option to fix this without upgrading the NRPE Client ?

Note: I am not using any SSL on Nagios Server and Nagios Client.

Regards.

Unfortunately no, there's no real workaround here. The NRPE clients are just old and need to be updated.
