Debian DLA-72-2 : rsyslog regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82217

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The Wheezy patch left an unresolved symbol in the imklog module of the Squeeze version. rsyslog worked fine except that messages from the kernel couldn't be submitted any longer. This update fixes this issue.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
