Security update for icinga2

This update for icinga2 fixes the following issues:

icinga2 was updated to 2.12.5:

Version 2.12.5 fixes two security vulnerabilities that may lead to privilege escalation for authenticated API users. Other improvements include several bugfixes related to downtimes, downtime notifications, and more reliable connection handling.

  • Security

    • Don't expose the PKI ticket salt via the API. This may lead to privilege escalation for authenticated API users by them being able to request certificates for other identities (CVE-2021-32739)

    • Don't expose IdoMysqlConnection, IdoPgsqlConnection, and ElasticsearchWriter passwords via the API (CVE-2021-32743)

    Depending on your setup, manual intervention beyond installing the new versions may be required, so please read the more detailed information in the release blog post carefully.

  • Bugfixes

    • Don't send downtime end notification if downtime hasn't started #8878
    • Don't let a failed downtime creation block the others #8871
    • Support downtimes and comments for checkables with long names #8870
    • Trigger fixed downtimes immediately if the current time matches (instead of waiting for the timer) #8891
    • Add configurable timeout for full connection handshake #8872
  • Enhancements

    • Replace existing downtimes on ScheduledDowntime change #8880
    • Improve crashlog #8869
