  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Cisco Prime Infrastructure due to a signal handler race condition

    is called asynchronously. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to call various functions that are not
    async-signal-safe with root privileges. (CVE-2024-6387)
