It was discovered that Performance Co-Pilot (pcp), a framework for performance monitoring, contains several vulnerabilities.

  • CVE-2012-3418 Multiple buffer overflows in the PCP protocol decoders can cause PCP clients and servers to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code while processing crafted PDUs.

  • CVE-2012-3419 The ‘linux’ PMDA used by the pmcd daemon discloses sensitive information from the /proc file system to unauthenticated clients.

  • CVE-2012-3420 Multiple memory leaks processing crafted requests can cause pmcd to consume large amounts of memory and eventually crash.

  • CVE-2012-3421 Incorrect event-driven programming allows malicious clients to prevent other clients from accessing the pmcd daemon.

To address the information disclosure vulnerability, CVE-2012-3419, a new ‘proc’ PMDA was introduced, which is disabled by default. If you need access to this information, you need to enable the ‘proc’ PMDA.
