Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package/rsyslog: upstream patch CVE-2026-19654
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 21:11:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826191159.711051-1-thomas.perale@mind.be> (raw)
- CVE-2026-19654:
A unauthenticated remote peer may lead rsyslogd to crash due to a flaw
in the optional imptcp module. A crafted input sequence during
oversize-frame recovery can cause an invalid internal message length
and terminate rsyslogd. No confidentiality or integrity impact,
privilege escalation, or code execution has been identified. imtcp and
the default imptcp framing modes are not affected.

+Subject: [PATCH] imptcp: guard regex framing match at line start
+
+Why
+A regex match at the beginning of the receive buffer can form a
+negative message length after oversize-frame recovery.
+
+Impact
+Regex-framed imptcp listeners reject that invalid transition instead
+of submitting a negative message length.
+
+Before/After
+Before: a match with a zero line offset submitted an invalid length.
+After: only a match following an existing line can submit a frame.
+
+Technical Overview
+Mirror the line-offset guard used by the shared imtcp parser.
+Leave existing regex framing and oversize recovery behavior unchanged.
