"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - 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-2024-3019)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
