* Fix possible root privilege escalation during opening logs (CVE-2016-9566) #13709

I'm not actually sure if the cve effects this as this is supposed to be the front-end split out.  But I've added 1.14.0 to the tree and cleaned old packages

Reproducible: Always

I would suggest to close this bug (maybe as invalid) because like Matthew already suspected the net-analyzer/icinga-web package isn't affected.

The vulnerable code was https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/commit/c29557dec91eba2306f5fb11b8da4474ba63f8c4 which isn't included in this package.

The icinga web component was only a potential vector to access the vulnerability because the www-user needs to access some nagios/icinga files and therefore is often added to nagios group with the result that the www-data user can start the attack.
