NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsyslog-gssapi package and not the rsyslog-gssapi package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the rsCStrExtendBuf function in runtime/stringbuf.c in the imfile module in rsyslog 4.x before 4.6.6, 5.x before 5.7.4, and 6.x before 6.1.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via a large file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
