Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-02-21 10:59:56 UTC
Hi,

please bump app-admin/rsyslog to the final 7.4.x series release v7.4.10.

Changelogs:
===========
7.4.8:
------
 * rsgtutil provides better error messages on unfinished signature blocks

 * bugfix: guard against control characters in internal (error) messages
   Thanks to Ahto Truu for alerting us.

 * bugfix: immark did emit messages under kern.=info instead of syslog.=info
   Note that his can potentially break exisiting configurations that rely on
   immark sending as kern.=info. Unfortunately, we cannot leave this unfixed as
   we never should emit messages under the kern facilit

7.4.9:
------
 * added ProcessInternalMessages global system parameter
   This permits to inject rsyslog status messages into *another* main syslogd or the journal.

 * bugfix: imuxsock input parameters were not accepted due to copy&paste error.
   Thanks to Andy Goldstein for the fix.

 * bugfix: potential double-free in RainerScript equal comparison happens if the left-hand
   operand is JSON object and the right-hand operand is a non-string that does not convert
   to a number (for example, it can be another JSON object, probably the only case that could
   happen in practice). This is very unlikely to be triggered.

 * bugfix: some RainerScript Json(Variable)/string comparisons were wrong

7.4.10:
-------
 * bugfix: json templates are improperly created
   Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead to all sorts
   of problems.
   See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/27
   Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.

 * ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
   If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but many distros
   now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not properly connect. This could even
   lead to a segfault. The core reason was that a PG session handle was kept open over a
   fork, something that is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
   Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.


@security-team: As you can see, 7.4.9 closed an potential double-free bug but upstream says it is very unlikely that this can be triggered. CVE wasn't requested for this bug. So I am not sure if you want to create a GLSA for that.


@Maintainer: This release is the final 7.4.10 release (upstream moved to 7.6.x series). Please be aware that this release introduced a new dependency on dev-lib/liblogging (see bug 501976).

Reproducible: Always
