Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in pcp and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a temp file vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-378. Opening temporary files without appropriate measures or controls can leave the file, its contents and any function that it impacts vulnerable to attack. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability has been identified in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) package, stemming from the mixed privilege levels utilized by systemd services associated with PCP. While certain services operate within the confines of limited PCP user/group privileges, others are granted full root privileges. This disparity in privilege levels poses a risk when privileged root processes interact with directories or directory trees owned by unprivileged PCP users. Specifically, this vulnerability may lead to the compromise of PCP user isolation and facilitate local PCP-to-root exploits, particularly through symlink attacks. These vulnerabilities underscore the importance of maintaining robust privilege separation mechanisms within PCP to mitigate the potential for unauthorized privilege escalation.

The weakness was published 02/28/2024. The advisory is available at access.redhat.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2023-6917 since 12/18/2023. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 208212 (SUSE SLED15 / SLES15 / openSUSE 15 Security Update : pcp (SUSE-SU-2024:3533-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
