It was discovered that sysstat, a system performance tools for Linux,
incompletely fixed CVE-2022-39377 (as published in ELA-731-1), which
could lead to crashes and possibly remote code execution.


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

For reference, the initial vulnerability was:

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).
