Description Milos Malik 2012-06-29 08:34:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
I'm not sure which of the last 9 lines in the config file causes the segfault, but one of them is definitely the culprit.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsyslog-relp-5.8.10-1.el7.x86_64
rsyslog-gnutls-5.8.10-1.el7.x86_64
rsyslog-5.8.10-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# grep -v -e '^#' -e '^$' /etc/rsyslog.conf 
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)
$ModLoad imklog   # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2012-07-04 11:59:21 UTC 
Following line was missing in the confi file:

$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/pki/rsyslog/ca.pem

When this line is present the service does not segfault anymore.
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2012-07-04 12:01:50 UTC 
I'm going to correct the automated test.
Comment 5 Tomas Heinrich 2013-12-22 15:11:46 UTC 
This was fixed in the upstream version 7.4.5. The current version in el7 is 7.4.2 but a rebase is planned which would resolve this issue.
