5.0 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

imudp in rsyslog 4.x before 4.1.2, 3.21 before 3.21.9 beta, and 3.20 before 3.20.2 generates a message even when it is sent by an unauthorized sender, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via a large number of spurious messages.

Affected configurations

• rsyslog rsyslog 3.12.1 • rsyslog rsyslog 3.20.0 • rsyslog rsyslog 4.1.0 • rsyslog rsyslog 4.1.1
