Marked for autoremoval on 20 June due to mongo-c-driver: #1133063, #1135502 high
Version 7.1.4-1 of pcp is marked for autoremoval from testing on Sat 20 Jun 2026. It is affected by #1133063. The removal of pcp will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependency: bpftune. It depends (transitively) on mongo-c-driver, affected by #1135502. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

    ci: add Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04 to GitHub automation
    
    Add platform definitions, QA package lists, and workflow matrix entries
    for fedora44-container, ubuntu2604-container, and ubuntu2604. Map
    ubuntu2604 releases to the resolute codename for Packagecloud uploads.
    
    Drop obsolete suggestion-mode from .pylintrc for pylint 4.x. Stop using
    deprecated argparse.FileType in the lmsensors PMDA. Use
    /usr/lib/systemd/systemd as PID 1 on Ubuntu 26.04 where /usr/bin/systemd
    is no longer shipped. Fix Ubuntu 26.04 package list Perl and ICU names.
    Report OSError when the lmsensors inject file cannot be read.

    qa/987: fix permissions and other problems
    
    The tarballs this test uses have been created by various people
    over time and they do not share the same ownerships and permissions.
    
    The net result is that the test with the latest
    qa/linux/xfs-root-003.tgz is failing on all the machines in the
    QA Farm.
    
    - half because of one variant of the permissions issue
    - half because dodging the first permissions issue exposes a second
      permissions issue that shows the committed 987.out is bad ... lots of
      values are available but 987.out shows No values
    
    Fix the script (big chmod hammer) and remake 987.out.

    docs: bump version and changelogs for next planned release

    Makepkgs & qa/admin/myconfigure: use dh_auto_configure when available
    
    For Debian builds this means
        $ qa/admin/myconfigure
    leaves the source tree in a state where
        $ sudo make install
    works for all the src/libpcp* directories because the Multilib path
    below /usr/lib will be used to match the place the libraries are
    installed by dpkg.
    
    For Makepkgs this is pretty much a no-op, other than it will not
    undo changes made by qa/admin/myconfigure.

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.
