Cacti is an open source performance and fault management framework. In versions 1.2.30 and below, the locale-dependent decimal formatting in rrdtoolfunctionupdate() can corrupt RRDtool metric values. The rrdtoolfunctionupdate() function checks metric values with isnumeric() and concatenates them into the RRDtool update command via PHP string interpolation. PHP's string cast of floats is locale-sensitive: if LCNUMERIC uses comma as decimal separator (e.g., de_DE), a value of 1.5 becomes "1,5". RRDtool expects . as decimal separator, causing metric data to shift into wrong columns or be silently dropped. No setlocale() reset is present in the update path. This causes a data integrity issue, but is not remotely exploitable; it requires server locale misconfiguration. The issue has been fixed in version 1.2.31.
