I have just released rsyslog 1.10.1. This release is slightly unscheduled. It orginally should have been released in a few days with some more enhancements. However, we have discovered a SQL injection vulnerability in rsyslog and decided to release a fix for the development branch as soon as possible (thankfully the code was at an interim milestone, so it was easy to do).
The most important feature of 1.10.1 obviously is the fix for the SQL injection vulnerability. Besides that, it offers a fix in handling broken MySQL connections. Feature-wise, it adds the ability to execute scripts (and other programs) on message reception. Together with the new filtering engine, this can, for example, be used to generate email alerts on important events.
I hope this release is useful. Please expect the originally scheduled feature set some time next week. Among others, it will bring additional comparison operations for the new filter engine.
