    Package : pcp
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3418 CVE-2012-3419 CVE-2012-3420 CVE-2012-3421

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

    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.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.3.3-squeeze2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.6.5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pcp packages.
