CVE-2022-39377
08.11.2022, 20:15
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.

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-120 - Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')The program copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
- CWE-131 - Incorrect Calculation of Buffer SizeThe software does not correctly calculate the size to be used when allocating a buffer, which could lead to a buffer overflow.
