openSUSE Recommended Update: syslog-ng: update from 3.4.2 to 3.4.5 ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2013:1755-1 Rating: low References: #850445 Affected Products: openSUSE 12.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: This update fixes the following issues with syslog-ng: - bnc#850445: update 3.4.5 (bugfix release) + Related entries from ChangeLog: * A race condition in log message reference counting code that sometimes led to crashes was fixed. * An assertion that happened in certain situations when a subst() rewrite rule was used was fixed. * A use-after-free error that sometimes happened after a reload, and caused memory corruption was also fixed. * patterndb was corrected not to create a new instance on reload: this way, the old one is not leaked, and db-parser() does not forget the correlation state, nor its idea of current time on reload. * Fixed the log message reference counting in the AMQP destination, thus stopping it from crashing. * Fixed a possible crash in the AMQP destination that could be triggered when the AMQP server was unreachable at the time of a syslog-ng reload or shutdown. * pdbtool no longer segfaults when used with the --module switch * pdbtool test exits with a return value of 2 if the test value matched a different pattern than expected. * The inherit-properties attribute was added to the patterndb XSD. * A memory corruption was fixed in the @STRING@ parser of db-parser(). - update 3.4.4 (bugfix release) - update to 3.4.3 (bugfix release) Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Recommended Update use YaST online_update.
