The remote host is missing an update to sysstat announced via advisory DSA 460-2.
Insight
Insight
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 allow a local attacker to overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking isag. The update used in DSA 460-1 did not fix every occurrence of the bug. DSA 460-2 includes a more complete fix. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.4-1woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.2-1. We recommend that you update your sysstat package.
