How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest syslog-ng.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream syslog-ng package and not the syslog-ng package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to a missing sanitization call in afsql_dd_run_query, syslog-ng before 4.12 are vulnerable to SQL injection from an untrusted source. This is not part of the default configuration, the SQL driver has to be manually configured.

Fixes are in syslog-ng 4.12, syslog-ng Premium Edition 8.2 and syslog-ng Store Box 7.8
