CVE-2011-1488 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:13.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsyslog package and not the rsyslog package as distributed by Ubuntu.
A memory leak in rsyslog before 5.7.6 was found in the way deamon processed log messages are logged when $RepeatedMsgReduction was enabled. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of the rsyslogd daemon service by crashing the service via a sequence of repeated log messages sent within short periods of time.
