+ sysstat is a package containing a number of performance monitoring + utilities for Linux, including sar, mpstat, iostat and sa tools +

+
+ +

+ There are two vulnerabilities in the way sysstat handles symlinks: +

+
    +
  1. The isag utility, which displays sysstat data in a graphical format, + creates a temporary file in an insecure manner.
  2. +
  3. Two scripts in the sysstat package, post and trigger, create temporary + files in an insecure manner.
  4. +
+
+ +

+ Both vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files + under the permissions of the user executing any of the affected + utilities. +

+
+ +

+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised + to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. +

+
+ +

+ Systat users should upgrade to version 4.2 or later: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=app-admin/sysstat-5.0.2" + # emerge ">=app-admin/sysstat-5.0.2" +
