Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-01-24 13:47:12 UTC 
CVE-2022-38725 (https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/):

An integer overflow in the RFC3164 parser in One Identity syslog-ng 3.0 through 3.37 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service via crafted syslog input that is mishandled by the tcp or network function. syslog-ng Premium Edition 7.0.30 and syslog-ng Store Box 6.10.0 are also affected.

3.38.1 is fixed according to URL, despite the CVE description. Please
cleanup.
