Hmm, this seems to be unrelated to CVE-2008-5027, but it may be the
upstream fix for CSRF: judging by the contents of
http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c2a418ab4f6e4ef3a53ddcde402fe4781caa764
the original patch from Tim Starling should introduce at least 'csrf' word
into cgi/cmd.c. And I am failing to find one in the latest version,
http://nagios.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nagios/nagios/cgi/cmd.c?revision=1.47&view=markup
So either it was fixed in the completely different way or it is the
quick fix to prevent CSRFs for the eventhandler mangling commands. It
is a bit strange that it was done after 3.0.5 (CSRF was documented in
3.0.5 release notes), but... By the way, entry for CVE-2008-5028 speaks
about 3.0.5 as about the vulnerable to the CSRF and it is inconsistent
with the release notes at
http://www.nagios.org/development/history/nagios-3x.php.
Clarifications are desperately needed ;))
