Summary
Updated nagios packages fix security vulnerability
Details

It was found that nagios daemon creates its PID file after dropping privileges, which allows to change its content by non-root user with PID of any other process, resulting into denial-of-service when daemon is stopped (CVE-2017-12847).

Note that the nagios package on Mageia 5 is no longer supported. Users of this package should upgrade to Mageia 6.
