Fix CVE-2022-39377: 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).
Despite what is written above in the CVE announcement, and as written in
the Changelog, the fix is also included in version 12.6.1 (12.7.1 is a
development version):
c1e631eddc
As a consequence, 12.6.1 is still reported as being affected. Until the
NVD is updated appropriately, we mark the CVE as ignored with a comment
that explains why.
Note: that commit is not reachable from any branch in the sysstat
repository, and Github warns about that, but the commit does belong to
the upstream repository and is reachable from the 12.6.1 tag (it looks
like sysstat only pushes tags-with-history for fix releases).

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
