[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios Plugins 1.4.10 released!

[Ton Voon]

The Nagios Plugin Development Team is pleased to announce the latest  
release of the Nagios Plugins.

Matthias Elbe, Thomas Guyot-Sionnest and Holger Weiss have been  
working their socks off with loads of bug fixes and feature  
enhancements in this release.

The major changes in this release include:

    Fix check_http buffer overflow vulnerability when following HTTP  
redirects
    check_http now explicitly asks HTTP/1.1 servers to close the  
connection after completion of the response
    check_ldaps' guessing which secure method to use (starttls vs.  
ssl on connect) is now deprecated. See --help for further information
    check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old:  
only the ones selected using -p)
    A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if  
stat fails.
    New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call  
stat() on remote ones, too.
    Thus accessibility of remote filesystems can be checked without  
any threshold comparison.
    check_disk --help now prints some examples for the new features  
introduced in 1.4.8
    New check_disk -i/-I option to ignore pathes/partitions based on  
regular expressions
    New check_disk -A option to select all filesystems explicitly
    WARNING: check_disk's -E option must now be passed before -p or - 
r/-R arguments. Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state,  
now. This is needed due to the new ignore feature
    Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case  
insensitive regex arguments
    New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in  
order to check DHCP servers on remote networks
    New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the  
MAC address to use in the DHCP request
    The check_dhcp -r and -s options now accept host names, too
    Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms
    Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses
    WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands:
      - stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
      - enforce a full path for the command to run
    The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
    check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
    The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which  
check_radius used instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is  
no longer available
    check_by_ssh now supports multiline output
    IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6
    Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
