    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4182-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                          Abhijith PA     May 28, 2025                                  https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Package        : syslog-ng     Version        : 3.28.1-2+deb11u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-47619

    A security issue was found in syslog-ng, an enhanced log daemon. In     prior version, `tls_wildcard_match()` matches on certificates such as     `foo.*.bar` although that is not allowed. It is also possible to pass     partial wildcards such as `foo.a*c.bar` which glib matches but should     be avoided / invalidated. This issue could have an impact on TLS     connections, such as in man-in-the-middle situations.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     3.28.1-2+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your syslog-ng packages.

    For the detailed security status of syslog-ng please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/syslog-ng
