A flaw was found in the PCP (Performance Co-Pilot) `pmproxy` service. A remote attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the `pmLogLoadInDom()` function by sending a specially crafted request. This bypasses a critical bounds check, which can lead to the `pmproxy` service crashing, causing a Denial of Service (DoS). Additionally, this flaw may enable the leakage of sensitive information from the system's memory.

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

To mitigate this issue, restrict network access to the `pmproxy` service on TCP port 44322 using firewall rules. Alternatively, if the `pmproxy` service is not required, it can be disabled to prevent exploitation. Example to disable `pmproxy`: `sudo systemctl stop pmproxy` `sudo systemctl disable pmproxy` Note that disabling `pmproxy` may impact functionality that relies on it. A service reload or restart may be required for changes to take effect.
