RHEL 10 : pcp (RHSA-2026:97299)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 378203
Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:97299 advisory.Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a suite of tools, services, and libraries for acquisition, archiving, and analysis of system-level performance measurements. Its light-weight distributed architecture makes it particularly well-suited to centralized analysis of complex systems.
Security Fix(es):
* PCP: PCP: Remote denial of service and information leakage (CVE-2026-16530)
* PCP: PCP: Arbitrary file creation via path traversal in pmproxy logger servlet (CVE-2026-16531)
Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):
* [Downstream] Rebase to the v7.1.3 or newer in 10.3 (JIRA:RHEL-173456)
* Cockpit reports Metrics history could not be loaded when some older pmlogger metrics are corrupted (JIRA:RHEL-139714)
* pcp-pmda-hdb and pcp-pmda-postgresql ship active default credentials in configuration files (JIRA:RHEL-152221)
* [RHEL 10.2] PCP (pcp-zeroconf) now pulls a new set of additional packages that are not really required by default (JIRA:RHEL-180384)
* Remove legacy pcp-pmda-bcc package from RHEL 10 and in favor of pcp-pmda-bpf (JIRA:RHEL-188397)
* Update of MSSQL PMDA to work with msodbcsql v18 (JIRA:RHEL-177599)
* Migrate to libvalkey from hiredis/hiredis-cluster (JIRA:RHEL-108916)
* pcp2openmetrics reports only the first metric when uses pmlogger archives (JIRA:RHEL-114006)
* pcp2opentelemetry generates output that is incompatible with OTLP/protobuf (JIRA:RHEL-130463)
* opentelemetry.control.status_code metric does not report failing scripts (JIRA:RHEL-130499)
