Hi, thanks for reporting this. If I'm not mistaken this bug affects <app-admin/rsyslog-5.7.4 Note: none of the currently in tree ebuilds are affected by this vulnerability. Thanks, Ultrabug. Am I correct to think this was first fixed for stable users in =app-admin/rsyslog-5.8.5? GLSA Vote: yes. Yes Tim, I indeed remember it that way, thanks. Votes: YES. GLSA request filed. CVE-2011-4623 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-4623): Integer overflow in the rsCStrExtendBuf function in runtime/stringbuf.c in the imfile module in rsyslog 4.x before 4.6.6, 5.x before 5.7.4, and 6.x before 6.1.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via a large file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201412-35 at http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201412-35.xml by GLSA coordinator Yury German (BlueKnight). |
