Title: Linux agent: Handle failing symmetric encryption
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Security fix
Version: 2.3.0b1
Prior to this Werk the symmetric encryption of agent data (if configured) would fail
silently if the option "Run agent as non-root user (Linux)" was also set, since
these two options are not compatible.
As a result, agent output would be sent unencrypted.
If symmetric encryption is configured, but failing, the agent will now abort immediately
and transmit a message about the failure as the only output.<br>
This will then be reported at the <i>Check_MK Agent</i> service of the host,
alongside a <tt>CRIT</tt> status.
