Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability has been discovered in rsyslog, which could possibly
lead to remote code execution.<\/p>\n
Background
=========
rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd with database support and
more.<\/p>\n
Affected packages
================
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
—————– ———— ————
app-admin\/rsyslog < 8.2206.0 >= 8.2206.0<\/p>\n
Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in rsyslog. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.<\/p>\n
Impact
=====
Modules for TCP syslog reception have a heap buffer overflow when octet-
counted framing is used. The attacker can corrupt heap values, leading
to data integrity issues and availability impact. Remote code execution
is unlikely to happen but not impossible.<\/p>\n
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.<\/p>\n
Resolution
=========
All rsyslog users should upgrade to the latest version:<\/p>\n
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=app-admin\/rsyslog-8.2206.0”<\/p>\n
