How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 pcp to version 3.6.5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pcp package and not the pcp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) before 3.6.5 exports some of the /proc file system, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information such as proc/pid/maps and command line arguments.
