Synopsis
The remote machine is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.01, has pcp packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- libpcp in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a PDU with the numcreds field value greater than the number of actual elements to the __pmDecodeCreds function in p_creds.c;
(2) the string byte number value to the
__pmDecodeNameList function in p_pmns.c; (3) the numids value to the __pmDecodeIDList function in p_pmns.c; (4) unspecified vectors to the __pmDecodeProfile function in p_profile.c; the (5) status number value or (6) string number value to the __pmDecodeNameList function in p_pmns.c; (7) certain input to the __pmDecodeResult function in p_result.c; (8) the name length field (namelen) to the DecodeNameReq function in p_pmns.c; (9) a crafted PDU_FETCH request to the __pmDecodeFetch function in p_fetch.c; (10) the namelen field in the
__pmDecodeInstanceReq function in p_instance.c; (11) the buflen field to the __pmDecodeText function in p_text.c;
(12) PDU_INSTANCE packets to the __pmDecodeInstance in p_instance.c; or the (13) c_numpmid or (14) v_numval fields to the __pmDecodeLogControl function in p_lcontrol.c, which triggers integer overflows, heap- based buffer overflows, and/or buffer over-reads.
(CVE-2012-3418)
- Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.5 exports some of the /proc file system, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information such as proc/pid/maps and command line arguments. (CVE-2012-3419)
- Multiple memory leaks in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or daemon crash) via a large number of PDUs with (1) a crafted context number to the DoFetch function in pmcd/src/dofetch.c or (2) a negative type value to the __pmGetPDU function in libpcp/src/pdu.c. (CVE-2012-3420)
- The pduread function in pdu.c in libpcp in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.5 does not properly time out connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (pmcd hang) by sending individual bytes of a PDU separately, related to an event-driven programming flaw. (CVE-2012-3421)
- The (1) pcmd and (2) pmlogger init scripts in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.10 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /var/tmp/##### temporary file. (CVE-2012-5530)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
