------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 2.0.6 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Nov 28, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.0.6) has been released. For latest fixes in the 2.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 2.0.6 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 10:35:27 +0100 IMPORTANT NOTES: * There are two possible Denial of Service fixes in this version of syslog-ng, therefore it is strongly recommended to upgrade to this version. Bugfixes: * HP-UX related build and runtime fixes, backported from the Premium Edition. * If unable to resolve the name of the target host, syslog-ng failed to initialize the TCP/UDP destination drivers. This behavior has been corrected. * Corrected program name parsing in incoming messages. * Fixed a problem in handling messages which lacked explicit timezone information, but the administrator specified a timezone for the messages. * Fixed some minor memory leaks in configuration reloads. * Fixed a segmentation fault which occurred when the timestamp of the incoming messages did not end with a space character (NULL pointer dereference). This is an easy Denial of Service possibility. * Fixed a segmentation fault which occurred when the PID macro was used and the message had a closing bracket (']') before an opening bracket ('['). * Fixed a possible segmentation fault for UDP6/TCP6 destinations. * Fixed IPv6 scope id resolution for link-local addresses. * Solaris related fixes.
