On 32 bit systems, in versions 9.1.16 and newer but prior to 12.7.1, allocate_structures contains a size_t overflow in sa_common.c
Summary
On 32 bit systems, in versions 9.1.16 and newer but prior to 12.7.1,
allocate_structures contains a size_t overflow in sa_common.c. The
allocate_structures function insufficiently checks bounds before
arithmetic multiplication, allowing for an overflow in the size allocated
for the buffer representing system activities. This issue may lead to
Remote Code Execution (RCE). (CVE-2022-39377)
