CVE-2024-45769

A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP).  This flaw allows an attacker to send specially crafted data to the system, which could cause the program to misbehave or crash.

PCP provides a range of services that may be used to monitor and manage system performance. These services are distributed and scalable to accommodate the most complex system configurations and performance problems.

Security Fix(es):

This update for pcp fixes the following issues:

pcp was updated from version 5.3.7 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:

  • Moved pmlogger_daily into main package (bsc#1222815)
  • Change dependency from openssl-devel >= 1.1.1 to openssl-devel >= 1.0.2p. Required for SLE-12.
  • 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.
