Bas van Schaik and Kevin Backhouse discovered a stack-based buffer
overflow vulnerability in librelp, a library providing reliable event
logging over the network, triggered while checking x509 certificates
from a peer. A remote attacker able to connect to rsyslog can take
advantage of this flaw for remote code execution by sending a specially
crafted x509 certificate.
