Description:
The SUSE Security Team Blog has a detailed review of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) 6.2.1 release : The rather complex PCP software suite was difficult to judge just from
a cursory look, so we decided to take a closer look especially at
PCP's networking logic at a later time. This report contains two CVEs
and some non-CVE related findings we also gathered during the
follow-up review. CVE-2024-45769 ,
a flaw that could allow an attacker to send crafted data to crash pcmd , and CVE-2024-45770 ,
which could allow a full local root exploit from the pcp user to root,
have been addressed in the 6.3.1 release of PCP.
