|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2022-24903 | Rsyslog is a rocket-fast system for log processing. Modules for TCP syslog reception have a potential heap buffer overflow when octet-counted framing is used. This can result in a segfault or some other malfunction. As of our understanding, this vulnerability can not be used for remote code execution. But there may still be a slight chance for experts to do that. The bug occurs when the octet count is read. While there is a check for the maximum number of octets, digits are written to a heap buf | [email protected] | 8.1 | 0.50% | 2022-05-06 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2011-1490 | A memory leak in rsyslog before 5.7.6 was found in the way deamon processed log messages are logged when multiple rulesets were used and some output batches contained messages belonging to more than one ruleset.

| CVE-2019-17042 | An issue was discovered in Rsyslog v8.1908.0. contrib/pmcisconames/pmcisconames.c has a heap overflow in the parser for Cisco log messages. The parser tries to locate a log message delimiter (in this case, a space or a colon), but fails to account for strings that do not satisfy this constraint. If the string does not match, then the variable lenMsg will reach the value zero and will skip the sanity check that detects invalid log messages. The message will then be considered valid, and the parse | [email protected] | 9.8 | 0.49% | 2019-10-07 | 2024-11-21 |

| CVE-2018-16881 | A denial of service vulnerability was found in rsyslog in the imptcp module.
