Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1338-1 (rsyslog)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to rsyslog announced via advisory USN-1338-1. Details: Peter Eisentraut discovered that Rsyslog would not properly perform input validation when configured to use imfile. If an attacker were able to craft messages in a file that Rsyslog monitored, an attacker could cause a denial of service. The imfile module is disabled by default in Ubuntu. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: rsyslog 4.6.4-2ubuntu4.2 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1338-1
