RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Corrupted data files no longer crash "sar"
Previously, the "sar" command could crash when loading a corrupted system activity data due to `localtime()` function calls not being properly checked in *sysstat*. This bug has been fixed and corrupted system activity data files no longer crash "sar".

Hello,
what's the status of this bug? I see customer case is closed. Would it be possible to get the problematic sa daily data file from customer, if he is still able to reproduce the issue?
Upstream fix can be found here, but without any note on reproducer:
https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/commit/5459ecb40ace4f91d6d765f4b1b06156805b10d9
I would like to see the patch backported in RHEL-6, but I would rather avoid manually modifying sa files for reproducer purposes..
peter
I wasn't able to reproduce the bug even by modifying the sa daily data file, thus I'm closing this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. In case you have any information which could help reproduce the bug, or you came across it again, feel free to reopen this bug.
Thanks,
peter
Hello,
I can verify that attached sa data file crashes sysstat and that attached patch fixes the crash. I'm proposing this bug for RHEL-6.8, but this late in the cycle, I can't guarantee that it'll be fixed. If this bug is important for you, please talk to the PM.
Thanks,
peter
