https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32 Summary: syslog-ng stops listening after receiving a zero length udp packet Product: syslog-ng Version: 3.0.x Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: ffs@ccn.net Type of the Report: bug Estimated Hours: 0.0 Created an attachment (id=12) --> (https://bugzilla.balabit.com/attachment.cgi?id=12) afsocket EOF patch Hi, if syslog-ng has an udp() source configured it stops listening after receiving a zero length udp packet. In debug mode it logs 'EOF occurred while reading'. After this message no udp messages get processed anymore. After a restart syslog-ng is logging again. As this bug is reproducible it could be abused for DOS attacks also. Tested on: Solaris 8/9 Attached is a patch for version 3.0.1. There might be a better way to solve this problem, but it's working for me. Thank you for syslog-ng!
