Mandrakelinux Advisory: sysklogd

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory

Package name: sysklogd
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:038
Date: April 28th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1, Multi Network Firewall 8.2

Problem Description:

Steve Grubb discovered a bug in sysklogd where it allocates an insufficient amount of memory which causes sysklogd to write to unallocated memory. This could allow for a malicious user to crash sysklogd.

The updated packages provide a patched sysklogd using patches from Openwall to correct the problem and also corrects the use of an unitialized variable (a previous use of "count").
