Description

The Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is installed to allow a central
Nagios server to actively poll information from the hosts it monitors. NRPE
has a configuration option dont_blame_nrpe which enables command-line arguments
to be provided remote plugins. When this option is enabled, even when NRPE makes
an effort to sanitize arguments to prevent command execution, it is possible to
execute arbitrary commands.
