Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of sysstat installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.5-18. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2068 advisory.

sysstat through 12.7.2 allows a multiplication integer overflow in check_overflow in common.c. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-39377. (CVE-2023-33204)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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