SUSE-SU-2022:2314-1

This update for rsyslog fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2022-24903: fix potential heap buffer overflow in modules for TCP syslog reception (bsc#1199061)

Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2106.0 (bsc#1188039)

• NOTE: the prime new feature is support for TLS and non-TLS connections via imtcp in parallel. Furthermore, most TLS parameters can now be overriden at the input() level. The notable exceptions are certificate files, something that is due to be implemented as next step.
• 2021-06-14: new global option 'parser.supportCompressionExtension' This permits to turn off rsyslog's single-message compression extension when it interferes with non-syslog message processing (the parser subsystem expects syslog messages, not generic text) closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4598
• 2021-05-12: imtcp: add more override config params to input() It is now possible to override all module parameters at the input() level. Module parameters serve as defaults. Existing configs need no modification.
• 2021-05-06: imtcp: add stream driver parameter to input() configuration This permits to have different inputs use different stream drivers and stream driver parameters. closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/3727
• 2021-04-29: imtcp: permit to run multiple inputs in parallel Previously, a single server was used to run all imtcp inputs. This had a couple of drawsbacks. First and foremost, we could not use different stream drivers in the varios inputs. This patch now provides a baseline to do that, but does still not implement the capability (in this sense it is a staging patch). Secondly, we now ensure that each input has at least one exclusive thread for processing, untangling the performance of multiple inputs from each other. see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/3727
• 2021-04-27: tcpsrv bugfix: potential sluggishnes and hang on shutdown tcpsrv is used by multiple other modules (imtcp, imdiag, imgssapi, and, in theory, also others - even ones we do not know about). However, the internal synchornization did not properly take multiple tcpsrv users in consideration. As such, a single user could hang under some circumstances. This was caused by improperly awaking all users from a pthread condition wait. That in turn could lead to some sluggish behaviour and, in rare cases, a hang at shutdown. Note: it was highly unlikely to experience real problems with the officially provided modules.
• 2021-04-22: refactoring of syslog/tcp driver parameter passing This has now been generalized to a parameter block, which makes it much cleaner and also easier to add new parameters in the future.

• 2021-04-22: config script: add rematchi() and reextracti() functions This provides case-insensitive regex functionality. closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4429

• optionally emit connection tracking message (on connection create and close)
• add 'maxFrameSize' parameter to specify the maximum size permitted in octet-counted mode
• add parameter 'discardTruncatedMsg' to permit truncation of oversize messages
• improve octect-counted mode detection: if the octet count is larger then the set frame size (or overly large in general), it is now assumed that octet-stuffing mode is used. This probably solves a number of issues seen in real deployments.
  • imtcp enhancements:
• add parameter 'discardTruncatedMsg' to permit truncation of oversize messages

• add 'maxFrameSize' parameter to specify the maximum size permitted in octet-counted mode

  • imfile bugfix: 'file not found error' repeatedly being reported for configured non-existing file. In polling mode, this message appeared once in each polling cycle, causing a potentially very large amout of error messages. Note that they were usually emitted too infrequently to trigger the error message rate limiter, albeit often enough to be a major annoance.
  • imfile: in inotify mode, add error message if configured file cannot be found
  • imfile: add parameter 'fileNotFoundError' to optinally disable 'file not found' error messages
  • core: replaced gethostbyname() with getaddrinfo() call Gethostbyname() is generally considered obsolete, is not reentrant and cannot really work with IPv6. Changed the only place in rsyslog where this call remained. Thanks to github user jvymazal for the patch
  • omkafka: add 'origin' field to stats output See also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/1508 Thanks to Yury Bushmelev for providing the patch.
  • imuxsock: rate-limiting also uses process name both for the actual limit procesing as well as warning messages emitted see also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/1520 Thanks to github user jvymazal for the patch
  • Added new module: KSI log signing ver. 1.2 (lmsigksils12)
  • rsylsog base functionality now builds on osx (Mac) Thanks to github user hdatma for his help in getting this done.
