A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in rsyslog related to syslog input over the network.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-admin/syslog-ng | * | < 3.38.1 | >= 3.38.1 |
syslog replacement with advanced filtering features.
An integer overflow in the RFC3164 parser allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted syslog input that is mishandled by the tcp or network function.
Attackers with access to input syslogs over syslog-ng's network functionality can cause a denial of service.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All syslog-ng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/syslog-ng-3.38.1"
This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2012.

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures have been available since 2012. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by these issues.
Syslog-ng does not properly initialize its chroot jail allowing for an escape if a separate vulnerability in Syslog-ng is exploited.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-admin/syslog-ng | * | < 2.1.3 | >= 2.0.10 (revision), >= 2.1.3 |
Syslog-ng is a flexible and scalable system logger.
Florian Grandel reported that Syslog-ng does not call chdir() before chroot() which leads to an inherited file descriptor to the current working directory.
A local attacker might exploit a separate vulnerability in Syslog-ng and use this vulnerability to escape the chroot jail.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Syslog-ng 2.0 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.10"
All Syslog-ng 2.1 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/syslog-ng-2.1.3"
A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in Syslog-ng.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-admin/syslog-ng | * | < 2.0.6 | >= 2.0.6 |
Syslog-ng is a flexible and scalable system logger.
Oriol Carreras reported a NULL pointer dereference in the log_msg_parse() function when processing timestamps without a terminating whitespace character.
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted event to a vulnerable Syslog-ng server, resulting in a crash.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Syslog-ng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.6"
