Advisory: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/security/advisories/GHSA-ggw7-xr6h-mmr8#advisory-comment-72243

"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."

Oh, I guess we could stable 8.2206.0, but that's a big jump.

Yup, it was just added.

Sorry, what I mean is: do you really want to stable that version? You can if you want, but I'd suggest adding 8.2204.1 and doing that instead. But I don't know much about upstream. If not much changed, then go wild.

Just better to do more conservative versions for fast/security stabilisation.
