NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsyslog package and not the rsyslog package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Double free vulnerability in the writeDataError function in the ElasticSearch plugin (omelasticsearch) in rsyslog before 7.4.2 and before 7.5.2 devel, when errorfile is set to local logging, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JSON response.
