The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3976-1 advisory.

    pcp was updated from version 3.11.9 to version 6.2.0 (jsc#PED-8192, jsc#PED-8389):

    - Security issues fixed:

      * CVE-2024-45770: Fixed a symlink attack that allows escalating from the pcp to the root user     (bsc#1230552)
      * CVE-2024-45769: Fixed a heap corruption through metric pmstore operations (bsc#1230551)
      * CVE-2023-6917: Fixed local privilege escalation from pcp user to root in /usr/libexec/pcp/lib/pmproxy     (bsc#1217826)
      * CVE-2024-3019: Disabled redis proxy by default (bsc#1222121)

    - Major changes:

      * Add version 3 PCP archive support: instance domain change-deltas,         Y2038-safe timestamps, nanosecond-precision timestamps, arbitrary timezones support, 64-bit file     offsets used         throughout for larger (beyond 2GB) individual volumes.
        + Opt-in using the /etc/pcp.conf PCP_ARCHIVE_VERSION setting         + Version 2 archives remain the default (for next few years).
      * Switch to using OpenSSL only throughout PCP (dropped NSS/NSPR);
        this impacts on libpcp, PMAPI clients and PMCD use of encryption;
        these are now configured and used consistently with pmproxy HTTPS support and redis-server, which were     both already         using OpenSSL.
      * New nanosecond precision timestamp PMAPI calls for PCP library interfaces that make use of timestamps.
        These are all optional, and full backward compatibility is preserved for existing tools.
      * For the full list of changes please consult the packaged CHANGELOG file

    - Other packaging changes:

      * Reintroduce libuv support for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (bsc#1231345)
      * Moved pmlogger_daily into main package (bsc#1222815)
      * Switched logutil and pmieutil scripts from Type=oneshot to Type=exec (bsc#1186511)
      * Change dependency from openssl-devel >= 1.1.1 to openssl-devel >= 1.0.2p.
        Required for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12.
      * Disabled 'pmda-infiniband' subpackage for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 to resolve build issues.
      * Introduce 'pmda-resctrl' package, disabled for architectures other than x86_64.
      * Change the architecture for various subpackages to 'noarch' as they contain no binaries.
      * Disable 'pmda-mssql', as it fails to build.
