The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-04 (Multiple vulnerabilities in sysstat)

There are two vulnerabilities in the way sysstat handles symlinks:
The isag utility, which displays sysstat data in a graphical format,     creates a temporary file in an insecure manner.
Two scripts in the sysstat package, post and trigger, create temporary     files in an insecure manner.

Impact :

Both vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files     under the permissions of the user executing any of the affected     utilities.

Workaround :

A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised     to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
