    There were a couple of secuity issues found in sysstat, system     performance tools for Linux, which are as follows:

    CVE-2019-16167

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

    CVE-2019-19725

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

    CVE-2022-39377

        On 32 bit systems, 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).

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     12.0.3-2+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sysstat packages.
