EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : sysstat (EulerOS-SA-2023-1338)

high Nessus Plugin ID 171168

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the sysstat package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - 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 Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected sysstat packages.
