DSA-460-1 sysstat Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Alan Cox discovered that the isag utility (which graphically displays data collected by the sysstat tools), creates a temporary file without taking proper precautions. This vulnerability could permit a local attacker to overwrite files with the rights of the user invoking isag. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.1-1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your sysstat package.
