patch available.

  - A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker
    has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to
    log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges. (CVE-2024-45770)

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