- Balazs Scheidler discovered a problem in the way syslog-ng handles macro
- expansion. When a macro is expanded a static length buffer is used
- accompanied by a counter. However, when constant characters are
- appended, the counter is not updated properly, leading to incorrect
- boundary checking. An attacker may be able to use specially crafted
- log messages inserted via UDP which overflows the buffer.
- This problem has been fixed in version 1.5.15-1.1 for the current
- stable distribution (woody), in version 1.4.0rc3-3.2 for the old
- stable distribution (potato) and version 1.5.21-1 for the unstable
- distribution (sid).
- We recommend that you upgrade your syslog-ng package immediately.
