Package        : monit
Version        : 1:5.4-2+deb7u3
Debian Bug     : 847196

The update for monit issued as DLA-732-1 causes monit to segfault when
using the collector function meant to provide data to M/Monit. This
update fixes the regression. For reference the original advisory text
follows.

Adith Sudhakar discovered a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issue in
monit, a utility for monitoring hosts and services. An attacker could
cause an authenticated admin to change monitoring for hosts/services
through a forged link. This update fixes the vulnerability by adding
CSRF protection via a security token and enforced POST requests for
actions that cause changes to the monitoring.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1:5.4-2+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your monit packages.
