Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-08-14 11:50:27 EDT
The zmq3 input and output modules in rsyslog before 8.28.0 interpreted description fields as format strings, possibly allowing a format string attack. These format string vulnerabilities were found in function 'initZMQ' in omzmq3.c file and in function 'createSocket' in imzmq3.c file.

Comment 1 Radovan Sroka 2017-08-15 03:34:03 EDT
We do not compile these modules.

--enable-imzmq3         Compiles imzmq3 output module [default=no]
--enable-omzmq3         Compiles omzmq3 output module [default=no]

Configure is running without any related option.
This is the same on RHEL and fedora.
Comment 3 Dhiru Kholia 2017-08-17 03:12:49 EDT
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of rsyslog as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7.
