The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6837 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: pmpost symlink attack allows escalating pcp to root user (CVE-2024-45770)

    * pcp: pmcd heap corruption through metric pmstore operations (CVE-2024-45769)
