CVE-2011-1488

A memory leak in rsyslog before 5.7.6 was found in the way deamon processed
log messages are logged when $RepeatedMsgReduction was enabled. A local
attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of the rsyslogd daemon
service by crashing the service via a sequence of repeated log messages
sent within short periods of time.
