CVE-2012-6096 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the history.cgi component of Nagios Core before 3.4.4 and Icinga versions 1.6.x, 1.7.x, and 1.8.x. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted long host_name or svc_description variables. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not on the CISA KEV catalog, exploit code, including a Metasploit module, is publicly available, indicating a high likelihood of exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
