medium Nessus Plugin ID 194797

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for pcp.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2213 advisory.

 Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a suite of tools, services, and libraries for acquisition, archiving, and analysis of system-level performance measurements. Its light-weight distributed architecture makes it particularly well-suited to centralized analysis of complex systems.

 Security Fix(es):

 * pcp: unsafe use of directories allows pcp to root privilege escalation (CVE-2023-6917)

 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

 Additional Changes:

 For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL pcp package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2213.
