sysstat through 12.2.0 has a double free in check_file_actlst in sa_common.c.

An update of the sysstat package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2020:0026-2 advisory.

  - sysstat through 12.2.0 has a double free in check_file_actlst in sa_common.c. (CVE-2019-19725)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3188 advisory.

  - sysstat before 12.1.6 has memory corruption due to an Integer Overflow in remap_struct() in sa_common.c.
    (CVE-2019-16167)

  - sysstat through 12.2.0 has a double free in check_file_actlst in sa_common.c. (CVE-2019-19725)

  - sysstat is a set of system performance tools for the Linux operating system. On 32 bit systems, in     versions 9.1.16 and newer but prior to 12.7.1, allocate_structures contains a size_t overflow in     sa_common.c. The allocate_structures function insufficiently checks bounds before arithmetic     multiplication, allowing for an overflow in the size allocated for the buffer representing system     activities. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This issue has been patched in version     12.7.1. (CVE-2022-39377)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
