RedHat Update for rsyslog RHSA-2014:1397-01 The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsyslog' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The rsyslog packages provide an enhanced, multi-threaded syslog daemon that supports writing to relational databases, syslog/TCP, RFC 3195, permitted sender lists, filtering on any message part, and fine grained output format control. A flaw was found in the way rsyslog handled invalid log message priority values. In certain configurations, a local attacker, or a remote attacker able to connect to the rsyslog port, could use this flaw to crash the rsyslog daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running the rsyslog daemon. (CVE-2014-3634) All rsyslog users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue
