Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of pcp installed on the remote host is prior to 4.3.2-12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2657 advisory.

A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges. (CVE-2024-45770)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'yum update pcp' to update your system.
