[Eric Desrochers <eric.desrochers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on my irc conversation with Dariusz... it seems like Debian and
Ubuntu devel release (bionic) only has half of the upstream commit. Only
fixing "count.c" and not "rd_stats.c".

Seems like there is a potential of 2 separate segfault scenario depending on sadc usage:
https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/issues/162

I think it would be safe to address both situations right now in the
same SRU.

This will involve forwarding it to Debian and prepare a debdiff for
bionic (which are requirements before considering to SRU'd).

Once the above requirements are done, I'll gladly sponsor it.

Regards,
Eric

  Segfault when using docker and overlay2

  In Progress
Status in sysstat source package in Artful:
  In Progress

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * With long entries in mtab tools utilizing the get_filesystem_nr and read_filesystem functions cause a segfault due to a fact that they don't
  check strchr result for being null.

  [Test Case]

   *

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is present upstream, so the behaviour will be consistent
  with the upstream version.

   * I don't see any potential regression manifestation, as this is a
  simple bugfix fixing ignoring function return values.

  [Other Info]
