CHANGES:

2.0.6

         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.
