Description (from wikipedia) :
Nagios /ˈnɑːɡiːoʊs/, now known as Nagios Core, is a free and open source computer-software application that monitors systems, networks and infrastructure. Nagios offers monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications and services. It alerts users when things go wrong and alerts them a second time when the problem has been resolved.

********************* CVE-2016-8641 Nagios 4.2.2 - root privilege escalation *********************
Using official installation instruction at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/4/en/quickstart-ubuntu.html,
nagios' user is create with a shell :

Create a new nagios user account and give it a password.
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -s /bin/bash nagios

leading to a entry in /etc/passwd like this "nagios:x:1001:1001::/home/nagios:/bin/bash"

This means that if someone has access to the nagios account, he can access any files own by nagios.

The Nagios startup script, run by root, is insecurely giving owner of file to nagios use :
(/etc/init.d/nagios: line 190)
touch $NagiosRunFile
chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile $NagiosVarDir/nagios.log $NagiosRetentionFile

If Nagios user symlink $NagiosRunFile to a file that he has no access to, at startup or reboot   of the nagios daemon, the init script with give him ownership of the linked file.
