Marked for autoremoval on 01 June: #1133063 high

Version 7.1.2-1 of pcp is marked for autoremoval from testing on Mon 01 Jun 2026. It is affected by #1133063. The removal of pcp will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependency: bpftune. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 7.1.4-1, distribution unstable) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:

commit 7338e8aeb84de30dafd5f4ba8e93533d5eae9838
Author: Marko Myllynen <myllynen@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon May 4 13:33:53 2026 +0300

    pmrep: complete and fix csv header unit info change
    
    Recognize the option in the config file. Make pcp2xxx tools to
    ignore it. Add zsh completion. Sanitize man page description.
    Clean up implementation. Fix --no-inst-info for CSV while at it.
    
    It was inconsistent whether -U should work as --csv-unit-info,
    QA suggested so but the implementation didn't work like that.
    Avoid doing so to avoid confusion with one option (-U) having
    the opposite meaning in different cases.
    
    Correct and update QA.

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
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Updating pcp will fix bugs in testing: #1133063
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/p/pcp.html
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on amd64 (not a regression): pcp-testsuite
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check failed and now waiting for reference results on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check failed and now waiting for reference results on i386
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on ppc64el (not a regression): pcp-testsuite
- ∙ ∙ 4 days old (needed 2 days)
- Not considered
