------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.0.6 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Apr 11, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.0.6) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.0.6 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:35:46 +0200 Bugfixes: * Fixed a boundary checking error on the usertty() destination, which can cause a local buffer to be overflown if the wtmp file on the system contains more than 123 characters in its ut_line member. It is not believed to be exploitable on the following platforms: Linux (32 chars) Solaris (12 chars) AIX (64 chars) HP-UX (12 chars) FreeBSD (8 chars) OpenBSD (8 chars) * Fixed a possible loss of the last partial message in the TCP and TLS transports of the syslog() driver. * Fixed empty line handling in the syslog() driver. The parser now accepts empty lines (which it didn't, but should have) and empty lines have the required trailing space which it didn't previously. * Fixed SDATA value lookup in case the the SD-ID contains dots. * Added escaping support to the structured-data parser. * Fixed an off-by-one bug in the structured data parser. * Fixed a possible segmentation fault after initializing the configuration when using unix-stream() and unix-dgram() destinations. * Fixed the Solaris 10 SMF script to handle "refresh" calls. * Fixed the Solaris 10 SMF script to handle an existing PID file without syslog-ng running with that pid. * Fixed the Solaris init/SMF scripts to avoid ugly error messages if the dump device doesn't exist. This situation can easily happen in a chroot or a zone. * Fixed a 100% CPU usage if the pipe() driver is applied to a regular file, or a file() driver on a named pipe. * Fixed a daylight saving problem in the transition window when receiving a BSD timestamp. * syslog-ng CSV format statistics (reachable via the syslog-ng.ctl socket) is now properly escaped. Other changes: * Fixed a linking problem with the MacOSX linker. * Added automatic test coverage for RFC5424 protocol format. * The SQL driver will drop a message after 3 failed attempts to insert it into the database. * If a character set conversion problem occurs on a connection, syslog-ng will drop the connection instead of trying to read further.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.1.1 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Apr 11, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.1.1) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.1.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.1.1 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:26:57 +0200 Bugfixes: * Solaris 10 SMF script now checks if the pid file refers to an actual instance of syslog-ng to make sure that syslog-ng is started even after a system crash. * The System V init script used on Solaris 8/9 gave ugly error messages if the dump device doesn't exist (which happens in a chroot/zone environment), this was fixed. * Fixed a 100% CPU usage if the configuration file uses the pipe driver on a regular file or a file driver on a named pipe. * Fixed a daylight saving problem in the transition window when receiving a BSD timestamp. * syslog-ng CSV format statistics (reachable via syslog-ng-ctl) is now properly escaped. Other changes: * Added "TAGS" macro which expands to a list of comma separated message tags. DOWNLOAD: You can download the source or binary packages from: http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system… The documentation of the syslog-ng Open Source Edition is available in The syslog-ng Open Source Edition Administrator's Guide at http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/
