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.

Title: Sysstat vulnerabilities
Summary: Sysstat could be made to crash or run programs if it processed specially
crafted data.
It was discovered that Sysstat incorrectly handled certain arithmetic
multiplications. An attacker could use this issue to cause Sysstat to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. This issue was only fixed for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-39377)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
