Description
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.

Remediation

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.
