rsyslog multiple buxfixes released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi all,

There has a security issue been identified that can potentially lead to DoS. It is triggered by malformed RFC3164 messages. An abort only happens under very specific environmental trigger factors. Full details can be found in our security advisory here:

http://www.rsyslog.com/potential-dos-with-malformed-tag/

We would like to thank the Red Hat security team for finding this issue and working with us to resolve it.

As a consequence, we have updated all currently active versions. Please note that they do not only contain the fix for the security issue mentioned above but also other stability updates. For obvious reasons, updating to these versions is recommended. For details, please see the relevant ChangeLog.

  • v4-stable: 4.6.8
  • v4-beta: 4.7.5
  • v5-stable: 5.8.5
  • v5-devel: 5.9.3
  • v6-beta: 6.1.12
  • v6-devel: 6.3.5

All versions are available right now. If you do not want to update, you should consider applying an update to older versions. The fix is trivial, so it should apply to all vulnerable versions without problems (but we have not checked the myriad of versions out there). The security advisory contains the details.

The Changelogs and Download Links can be found below:

As always, feedback is appreciated.

rsyslog 6.3.3 (devel) released

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,

This is a very important milestone release. It features the new config parser and thus provides the basis for a more intuitive config format. With 6.3.3 there are already some enhancements to the format. However, more changes will come up with the next minor releases. For details, please check this link:

http://www.rsyslog.com/rsyslog-6-3-3-config-format-improvements/

It is worth noting that the performance of script-based filters (“if … then”) has notable been improved. Preliminary benchmarks show an improvement of at least a factor of three (more detailed benchmarks will be done after the new scoped object statements have been introduced).

We would appreciate early adoption of this release. One goal in releasing it is to see if the new parser actually is able to handle all legacy configurations found in practice (note that the parser was written from scratch).
