AI-suggested
A fix is available in rsyslog version 8.2606.0. Users should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Systems not using the mmpstrucdata plugin or with message size limits below the threshold are not affected. Standard system updates on supported Ubuntu releases will apply the necessary patches as detailed in the Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8598-1.
Description
Rsyslog versions from 7.5.4 up to but not including 8.2606.0 contain a vulnerability in the optional mmpstrucdata plugin. The vulnerability arises from the parseSD_PARAM function using a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to send an oversized RFC5424 structured-data parameter that causes a stack overwrite. This can lead to a crash and interruption of log collection. Systems not using the plugin or with message size limits below the threshold are not affected. The issue is fixed in version 8.2606.0.
