rsyslog

Version 7.2.2 [v7-stable] 2012-10-16

• doc improvements
• enabled to build without libuuid, at loss of uuid functionality
  this enables smoother builds on older systems that do not support
  libuuid. Loss of functionality should usually not matter too much as
  uuid support has only recently been added and is very seldom used.
• bugfix: omfwd did not properly support “template” parameter
• bugfix: potential segfault when re_match() function was used
  Thanks to oxpa for the patch.

• bugfix: potential abort of imtcp on rsyslogd shutdown
• bugfix: imzmq3 segfault with PULL subscription
  Thanks to Martin Nilsson for the patch.
• bugfix: improper handling of backslash in string-type template()s
• bugfix: leading quote (“) in string-type template() lead to thight loop
  on startup
• bugfix: no error msg on invalid field option in legacy/string template
• bugfix: potential segfault due to invalid param handling in comparisons
  This could happen in RainerScript comparisons (like contains); in some
  cases an unitialized variable was accessed, which could lead to an
  invalid free and in turn to a segfault.

  Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for reporting this bug and his great help
  in solving it.
• bugfix: no error msg on unreadable $IncludeConfig path
• bugfix: $IncludeConfig did not correctly process directories
  closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376
  The testbench was also enhanced to check for these cases.
  Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for the bug report.
• bugfix: make rsyslog compile on kfreebsd again
  closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380
  Thanks to Guillem Jover for the patch
• bugfix: garbled message if field name was used with jsonf property option
  The length for the field name was invalidly computed, resulting in either
  truncated field names or including extra random data. If the random data
  contained NULs, the rest of the message became unreadable.
• bugfix: potential segfault at startup with property-based filter
  If the property name was followed by a space before the comma, rsyslogd
  aborted on startup. Note that no segfault could happen if the initial
  startup went well (this was a problem with the config parser).

• bugfix: imfile discarded some file parts
  File lines that were incomplete (LF missing) *at the time imfile polled
  the file* were partially discarded. That part of the line that was read
  without the LF was discarded, and the rest of the line was submitted in
  the next polling cycle. This is now changed so that the partial content
  is saved until the complete line is read. Note that the patch affects
  only read mode 0.
  Thanks to Milan Bartos for providing the base idea for the solution.
