Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for pcp.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6840 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)
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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-2024:6840.See Also
