CVE-2019-16167

An integer overflow vulnerability was found in sysstat in the way the sadf command processes the contents of data files created by the sar command. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted file with malformed data that, when loaded by a victim, causes the application to crash.

This issue did not affect the versions of sysstat as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7 as they did not include the vulnerable function, which was introduced in a newer version of the package.
