Package description:
SAR and IOSTAT for Linux
Problem description:
The isag script shipped with sysstat was creating temporary files in the
/tmp directory in an insecure way. As TSL does not include the
prerequisites for runnining the script, we have removed it from the
distribution.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
package, you may want to remove it from your system.
