CVE-2008-5617

Publication date 17 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The ACL handling in rsyslog 3.12.1 to 3.20.0, 4.1.0, and 4.1.1 does not follow $AllowedSender directive, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and spoof log messages or create a large number of spurious messages.
