| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
sysstat versions 9.1.16 through 12.7.0
Description
The issue is related to the
allocate structures function in sa common.c, which insufficiently checks bounds before arithmetic multiplication, allowing for an overflow in the size allocated for the buffer representing system activities. This may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The allocate structures function is vulnerable due to a size t overflow.Recommendations
For versions 9.1.16 through 12.7.0, update to version 12.7.1 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
allocate structures function until a patch is available.Exploit
