Rocky Linux 9.6 [TuxCare] Security Update: grafana-pcp Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1790065054)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362198

Synopsis

The Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1790065054 advisory.

- On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress, Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root. The Linux fchmodat syscall silently ignores the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag, which Root.Chmod uses to avoid symlink traversal. Root.Chmod checks its target before acting and returns an error if the target is a symlink lying outside the root, so the impact is limited to cases where the target is replaced with a symlink between the check and operation. (CVE-2026-32282)

- Decoding a maliciously-crafted MIME header containing many invalid encoded-words can consume excessive CPU. (CVE-2026-42504)

- When a server is configured to support unencrypted HTTP/2, it reads a few bytes from each new connection to see if they contain the HTTP/2 client preface. ReadHeaderTimeout is unexpectedly not being applied when doing this. (CVE-2026-56853)

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 affected grafana-pcp package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1790065054.
