"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. An attacker may be able to use specially crafted
log messages inserted via UDP which overflows the buffer."
