An integer signedness error, leading to heap based buffer overflow was found in the way the imfile module of rsyslog, an enhanced system logging and kernel message trapping daemon, processed text files larger than 64 KB. When the imfile rsyslog module was enabled, a local attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service (rsyslogd daemon hang) via specially-crafted message, to be logged. Upstream bug report: [1] http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221 Upstream patch: [2] http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commit;h=6bad782f154b7f838c7371bf99c13f6dc4ec4101 References: [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769822 Could you allocate a CVE id for this?
