[DSA175] DSA-175-1 syslog-ng |

DSA-175-1 syslog-ng Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Balazs Scheidler discovered a problem in the way syslog-ng handles macro expansion. When a macro is expanded a static length buffer is used accompanied by a counter. However, when constant characters are appended, the counter is not updated properly, leading to incorrect boundary checking. A possible hacker may be able to use specially crafted log messages inserted via UDP which overflows the buffer. This problem has been fixed in version 1.5.15-1.1 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 1.4.0rc3-3.2 for the old stable distribution (potato) and version 1.5.21-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your syslog-ng package immediately.
