Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in rsyslog, which could possibly
lead to remote code execution.

Background
==========

rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd with database support and
more.

Affected packages
=================

Package            Vulnerable    Unaffected
-----------------  ------------  ------------
app-admin/rsyslog  < 8.2206.0    >= 8.2206.0

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in rsyslog. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

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.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All rsyslog users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/rsyslog-8.2206.0"

References
==========
