4 low-priority security issues in bookworm low

There are 4 open security issues in bookworm.

4 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2023-6917: (needs triaging) 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.
CVE-2024-3019: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in PCP. The default pmproxy configuration exposes the Redis server backend to the local network, allowing remote command execution with the privileges of the Redis user. This issue can only be exploited when pmproxy is running. By default, pmproxy is not running and needs to be started manually. The pmproxy service is usually started from the 'Metrics settings' page of the Cockpit web interface. This flaw affects PCP versions 4.3.4 and newer.
CVE-2024-45769: (needs triaging) A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw allows an attacker to send specially crafted data to the system, which could cause the program to misbehave or crash.
CVE-2024-45770: (needs triaging) A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.

testing migrations

This package will soon be part of the auto-openssl transition. You might want to ensure that your package is ready for it. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
excuses:
- Migration status for pcp (7.1.2-1 to 7.1.3-2): BLOCKED: Maybe temporary, maybe blocked but Britney is missing information (check below)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Missing build on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Missing build on riscv64
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest deferred on riscv64: missing arch:riscv64 build
- ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on armhf, riscv64 - info
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check deferred on armhf: missing builds
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 0 of 2 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Updating pcp will fix bugs in testing: #1133063
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/p/pcp.html
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility regression on amd64: pcp
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on arm64 (not a regression): pcp, pcp-testsuite
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on i386 (not a regression): pcp-testsuite
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check waiting for results on ppc64el
- Not considered
