NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pcp-pmda-rsyslog package and not the pcp-pmda-rsyslog package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A command injection flaw in PCP's linux_sockets PMDA allows malicious shell metacharacters via the network.persocket.filter metric. This failed validation lets attackers execute arbitrary commands as the PMDA user when metrics refresh.
