------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 10 16:20:51 CET 2017 - ndas@suse.com - sync bug and fate numbers from IBS changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jan 15 21:50:25 UTC 2017 - astieger@suse.com - rsyslog 8.24.0(fate#320546): * mmrm1stspace: new module; removes first space in MSG if present * KSI signature provider: file permissions can now be specified * omzmq: new features * when the hostname is empty, we now use "localhost-empty-hostname" * omelasticsearch: remove "asyncrepl" config parameter * omfwd: Add support for bind-to-device (see below on same for imudp) * imudp: Add support for bind-to-device * imudp: limit rcvbufsize parameter to max 1GiB * rainerscript: implement new "call_indirect" statement * bugfix imjournal: make state file handling more robust * bugfix core: lookup table reload was not properly integrated * bugfix core: potential dealock on shutdown * bugfix ommongodb: did not work in v8 due to invalid indirection * bugfix ommongodb: fix tryResume handling * bugfix omfwd: retry processing was not done correctly, could stall * bugfix imuxsock: segfault non shutdown when $OmitLocalLogging is on - contributed modules not enabled due to build issues: * mmdblookup: new maxminddb lookup message modify plugin ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 12 13:39:18 UTC 2016 - dimstar@opensuse.org - Replace pkgconfig(libsystemd-journal) BuildRequires with pkgconfig(libsystemd): the sub-libraries have been merged into libsystemd since 209 and have ultimately been removed since 230. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Dec 4 20:38:02 UTC 2016 - astieger@suse.com - rsyslog 8.23.0: * requiring libfastjson 0.99.3 * KSI signatures: removed SHA2-224 hash algorithm * imfile: new timeout feature for multi-line reads * omfile: improve robustness against network file system failures * pmaixforwardedfrom: support for AIX syslogd -s option * omelasticsearch: add ability to specify max http request size * omelasticsearch: high availability addressing of ElasticSearch cluster * omelasticsearch: make compatible with ElasticSearch 2.x and 5.x * omhiredis: add dynakey attribute. * omtcl: new contributed module * RainerScript: provide a capability to set environment variables * lookup tables: improved error checking * queue subsystem: add configuration parameter "queue.samplinginterval" * various bug fixes * rsgtutil: option to specify KSI publications file certificate constraints - includes changes from 8.22.0: * ompgsql: add template support * generate somewhat better error message on config file syntax error - includes changes from 8.21.0: * CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR: by default, internal messages are no longer logged via the internal bridge to rsyslog but via the syslog() API call [either directly or via liblogging). For the typical single-rsyslogd-instance installation this is mostly unnoticable (except for some additional latency). If multiple instances are run, only the "main" (the one processing system log messages) will see all messages. To return to the old behaviour, do either of those two: 1) add in rsyslog.conf: global(processInternalMessages="on") 2) export the environment variable RSYSLOG_DFLT_LOG_INTERNAL=1 This will set a new default - the value can still be overwritten via rsyslog.conf (method 1). Note that the environment variable must be set in your **startup script**. For more information, please visit http://www.rsyslog.com/rsyslog-error-reporting-improved/ * slightly improved TLS syslog error messages * queue subsystem: improved robustness ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 19 16:54:56 UTC 2016 - astieger@suse.com - rsyslog 8.20.0: * omrelp: add configurable connection timeout * pmrfc3164: add support for slashes in hostname * bugfix omfile: handle chown() failure correctly * omfile now better conveys status of unwritable files back to core * config files recursively including themselfes are now detected * refactored code to not emit compiler warnings in "strict mode" * bugfix: fix some issues with action CommitTransaction() handling * bugfix omqmqp1: connecting to the message bus fails on nonstandard port * testbench/CI enhancements - Build requirements: * librelp 1.2.12 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Jun 4 18:51:17 UTC 2016 - astieger@suse.com - rsyslog 8.19.0: * omelasticsearch: add option to permit unsigned certs * imrelp: better error codes on unvailablity of TLS options * default stack size for inputs has been explicitely set to 4MiB * performance improvements * miscellaneous minor cleanup * fix: potential misadressing in template config processing * bugfix omfile: async output file writing does not respect flushing * bugfix imfile: corrupted multi-line message when state data was persisted * bugfix imfile: missing newline after first line of multiline message * bugfix: dynstats unusedMetricTtl bug * bugfix build system: build was broken on SunOS * bugfix: afterRun entry point not correctly called * bugfix dynstats: do not leak file handles * bugfix omelasticsearch: disable libCURL signal handling * bugfix omelasticsearc: some regressions were fixed * improved wording: gnutls error message points to potential cause ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 19 19:23:20 UTC 2016 - astieger@suse.com - rsyslog 8.18.0(bnc#958728): * templates: add option to convert timestamps to UTC * omjournal: fix segfault (regression in 8.17.0) * imptcp: added AF_UNIX support * new template options * compressSpace * date-utc * redis: support for authentication * omkafka: makes kafka-producer on-HUP restart optional * imfile: new "FreshStartTail" input parameter * omjournal: fix libfastjson API issues * ommongodb: fix json API issues * dynamic stats subsystem: a couple of smaller changes * foreach loop: now also iterates over objects (not just arrays) * enhancement: queue subsystem is more robst in regard to some corruptions * enhancement: Allow rsyslog to bind UDP ports even w/out specific interface being up at the moment. * new External plugin for sending metrics to SPM Monitoring SaaS * bugfix imfile: fix memory corruption bug when appending @cee * bugfix: memory misallocation if position.from and position.to is used a negative amount of memory is tried to be allocated if position.from is smaller than the buffer size (at least with json variables).

They no longer raise a syntax error. - add parameter -N3 to enable config check of partial config file Use for config include files. Disables checking if any action exists at all. - rsyslogd -e option has finally been removed It is deprectated since many years. - testbench improvements - testbench is now by default disabled - add new RainerScript functions warp() and replace() - mmnormalize can now also work on a variable - new property date options for day ordinal and week number - remove --enable-zlib configure option, we always require it - slight source-tree restructuring: contributed modules are now in their own ./contrib directory. The idea is to make it clearer to the end user which plugins are supported by the rsyslog project (those in ./plugins). - bugfix: imudp makes rsyslog hang on shutdown when more than 1 thread used - bugfix: not all files closed on auto-backgrounding startup - bugfix: typo in queue configuration parameter - bugfix: unitialized buffer off-by-one error in hostname generation - bugfix imuxsock: possible segfault when SysSock.Use="off" - bugfix: RainerScript: invalid ruleset names were accepted - bugfix: some module entry points were not called for all modules - bugfix omlibdbi: connection was taken down in wrong thread - imttcp was removed because it was an incompleted experimental module - pmrfc3164sd because it was a custom module nobody used - omoracle was removed because it was orphaned and did not build/work for quite some years and nobody was interested in fixing it - includes changes from 8.5.0: - imfile greatly refactored and support for wildcards added - PRI-handling code refactored for more clarity and robustness - ommail: add support for RainerScript config system [action() object] - refactored the auto-backgrounding method - make gntls tcp syslog driver emit more error messages - bugfix: imfile did not complain if configured file did not exist - bugfix: build failure on systems which don't have json_tokener_errors - imgssapi: log remote peer address in some error messages - includes changes from 8.4.3: - ommail: minor bugfixes & improvements - bugfix imkmsg: infinite loop on OpenVZ VMs - bugfix: typo in queue configuration parameter made parameter unusable - bugfix: unitialized buffer off-by-one error in hostname generation - bugfix imfile: segfault on startup in "inotify" mode - bugfix imfile: could make rsyslog exit in inotify mode - bugfix: rsgtutil sometimes crashed in verify mode if file did not exist - bugfix imklog: pri was miscalculated - bugfix: imjournal did not build properly - bugfix: mmcount did no longer build - bugfix imuxsock: possible segfault when SysSock.Use="off" - rsyslog Version 8.5.0 fixed bsc#992146 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 4 23:23:32 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - set file permissions only on first install [boo#899316] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 22 02:03:03 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com - Changed BuildRequires dependencies for SLES11SP3 - BuildRequires: libjson-c-devel - BuildRequires: libestr-devel - BuildRequires: liblogging-devel - BuildRequires: librelp-devel - BuildRequires: libee-devel - BuildRequires: liblognorm-devel - BuildRequires: libuuid-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Oct 18 20:45:12 UTC 2014 - Led <ledest@gmail.com> - fix shebang of rsyslog-service-prepare script ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Oct 4 20:08:12 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - rsyslog Version 8.4.2 [v8-stable] 2014-10-02 [bnc#899756] This release primarily contains a correction for the previous fix for the PRI vulnerability which was incomplete. - bugfix: the fix for CVE-2014-3634 did not handle all cases This is corrected now. see also: CVE-2014-3683 - fixed a build problem on some platforms - behaviour change: "msg" of messages with invalid PRI set to "rawmsg" ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 1 08:44:57 UTC 2014 - mt@suse.de - Removed broken zpipe utility from diag-tools package (bnc#890228) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 30 11:07:08 UTC 2014 - mt@suse.de - update to rsyslog 8.4.1 [v8-stable] 2014-09-30 (bnc#897262) - imudp: add for bracketing mode, which makes parsing stats easier - permit at-sign in variable names closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/110 - bugfix: fix syntax error in anon_cc_numbers.py script Thanks to github user anthcourtney for the patch. closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/109 - bugfix: ompgsql: don't loose uncomitted data on retry Thanks to Jared Johnson and Axel Rau for the patch. - bugfix: imfile: if a state file for a different file name was set, that different file (name) was monitored instead of the configured one. Now, the state file is deleted and the correct file monitored. closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/103 - bugfix: omudpspoof: source port was invalid Thanks to Pavel Levshin for the patch - bugfix: build failure on systems which don't have json_tokener_errors Older versions of json-c need to use a different API (which don't exists on newer versions, unfortunately...) Thanks to Thomas D. for reporting this problem. - bugfix: omelasticsearch does not work with broken/changed ES 1.0+ API closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/104 - bugfix: mmanon did not properly anonymize IP addresses starting with '9' Thanks to defa-at-so36.net for reporting this problem. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529 - bugfix: build problems on SuSe Linux Thanks Andreas Stieger for the patch - bugfix: omelasticsearch error file did not work correctly on ES 1.0+ due to a breaking change in the ElasticSearch API. see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/104 - bugfix: potential abort when a message with PRI > 191 was processed if the "pri-text" property was used in active templates, this could be abused to a remote denial of service from permitted senders see also: CVE-2014-3634 - removed patches obsoleted by this version: [- rsyslog-8.4.0_implicit_declaration.patch, - rsyslog-8.4.0-json-c-0.12-configure.patch, - rsyslog-8.4.0-json-c-0.12.patch] - adopted patch for modified rsyslog.service: [* rsyslog-unit.patch] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 22 19:50:42 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - fix build with json-c 0.12 with upstream patch rsyslog-8.4.0-json-c-0.12.patch - json-c provides a compatibility pkg-config for "json". Add rsyslog-8.4.0-json-c-0.12-configure.patch to check for the required function directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 17 09:40:40 UTC 2014 - wagner-thomas@gmx.at - added firewall template file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 22 14:37:57 UTC 2014 - mt@suse.de - Stop syslog.socket in %preun to avoid the daemon we uninstall gets started by a log message due to dependencies (bnc#840815). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 21 15:20:20 UTC 2014 - mrueckert@suse.de - reenable gssapi module ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 21 14:47:32 UTC 2014 - mrueckert@suse.de - rsyslog 8.4.0 [v8-stable] - this is the new stable branch, which incorporates all enhancements of rsyslog 8.3. - rsyslog 8.3.5 [v8-devel] 2014-08-05 - mmjsonparse: support selectable cookie and target containers This permits to put different meanings into a json formatted syslog message, e.g. the "traditional" cee or cim data. - bugfix: mmjsonparse did not build with json-c < 0.10 This was a regression introduced some time in the past in order to support API changes in json-c. Now we check for the - rsyslog and use proper code. - omprog: emit error message via syslog() if loading binary fails This happens after forking, so omprog has no longer access to rsyslog's regular error reporting functions. Previously, this meant any error message was lost. Now it is emitted via regular syslog (which may end up in a different instance, if multiple instances run...) - couple of patches imported from v7-stable (7.6.4) - rsyslog 8.3.4 [v8-devel] 2014-07-11 - new pmciscoios parser supporting various Cisco IOS formats - RFC3164 timestamp parser now accepts timezones and subsecond resolution ... at least for some common formats and where we could do so without running risk of breaking proper formats (or introducing regressions) - new parser config object -- permits to define custom parser definitions - new tzinfo config object -- permits to define time zone offsets This is a utility object that currently is being used by some parsers. - bugfix: mishandling of input modules not supporting new input instances If they did not support this, accidently the output module part of the module union was written, leading to unpredictable results. Note: all core modules do support this interface, but some contributed or very old ones do not. - bugfix: double-free when ruleset() parser parameters were used While unlikely, this could cause stability issues even after the config phase. - rsyslog 8.3.3 [v8-devel] 2014-06-26 - unify input object naming imudp now supports "name" paramter, as other inputs do. "inputname" has been deprecated, but can still be used. Same applies to "appendport" subparamter". Thanks to "Nick Syslog" for the suggestion. - made the missing (contributed) modules build under v8 [import from 8.2.2] Modules: * mmrfc5424addhmac omrabbitmq omgssapi omhdfs omzmq3 - added a cleanup process (janitor); permits to close omfile files after a timeout - make omgssapi build under v8.3 [import vom v8.2] note that we could do this to the stable, because there is NO regression chance at all: only omgssapi was changed, and this module did NOT work previously. - removed obsolete --disable-fsstnd configure option Thanks to Thomas D. for alerting us. Closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/72 - rsyslog 8.3.2 [v8-devel] 2014-05-02 - new template options for date extraction: - year - month - day - wday - hour - minute - second - tzoffshour - tzoffsmin - tzoffsdirection - wdayname For string templates, these are property options and they are prefixed with "date-" (e.g. "date-year", "date-month", ...) see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/65 - bugfix: mmexternal remove framing char before processing JSON reply This did not have any real bad effects, but caused unnecessary processing, as empty replies were not properly detected. Otherwise, the bug was not noticible from the user's PoV. - bugfix: mmexternal segfault due to invalid free in non-json input mode closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/70 - bugfix: mmexternal segfault when external plugin sent invalid reply ... or no reply at all. This happened if the reply was imporper JSON. Now, we emit an error message in those cases. see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/69 - bugfix: mmexternal did potentially pass incomplete data to restarted external plugin This could happen if EPIPE was returned "too late", in which case the beginning of the data could be lost. - bugfix: mmexternal did not properly process messages over 4KiB The data to be passed to the external plugin was truncated after 4KiB. see: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/64 - imrelp: added support for per-listener ruleset and inputname see: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/63 Thanks to bobthesecurityguy github user for the patch - rsyslog 8.3.1 [v8-devel] 2014-04-24 - external message modification interface now support modifying message PRI - "jsonmesg" property will include uuid only if one was previously generated This is primarily a performance optimization. Whenever the message uuid is gotten, it is generated when not already present. As we used the regular setter, this means that always the uuid was generated, which is quite time-consuming. This has now been changed so that it only is generated if it already exists. That also matches more closly the semantics, as "jsonmesg" should not make modifications to the message. Note that the same applies to "fulljson" passing mode for external plugins. - added plugin to rewrite message facility and/or severity Name: fac-sever-rewrite.py - permits to build against json-c 0.12 Unfortunately, json-c had an ABI breakage, so this is necessary. Note that - rsyslogs prior to 0.12 had security issues (CVE-2013-6370, CVE-2013-6371) and so it is desirable to link against the new - rsyslog. Thanks to Thomas D. for the patch. Note that at least some distros have fixed the security issue in older - rsyslogs of json-c, so this seems to apply mostly when building from sources. - bugfix: using UUID property could cause segfault - bugfix/mmexternal: memory leak - bugfix: memory leak when using "jsonmesg" property - bugfix: mmutf8fix did not detect two invalid sequences Thanks to Axel Rau for the patch. - bugfix: build problems with lexer.l on some platforms For some reason, the strdup() prototype and others are missing. I admit that I don't know why, as this happens only in 8.3.0+ and there is no indication of changes to the affected files. In any case, we need to fix this, and the current solution works at least as an interim one. - rsyslog 8.3.0 [v8-devel] 2014-04-10 - new plugin for anonymizing credit card numbers Thanks to Peter Slavov for providing the code. - external message modification modules are now supported They are bound via the new native module "mmexternal". Also, a sample skeleton for an external python message modification module has been added. - new $jsonmesg property with JSON representation of whole message object closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/19 - improved error message for invalid field extraction in string template see also: http://kb.monitorware.com/problem-with-field-based-extraction-t12299.html - fix build problems on Solaris - NOTE: a json-c API that we begun to use requires the compiler to be in c99 mode. By default, we select it automatically. If you modify this and use gcc, be sure to include "-std=c99" in your compiler flags. This seems to be necessary only for older - rsyslogs of gcc. - rsyslog 8.2.3 [v8-stable] 2014-??-?? - bugfix: ommysql: handle/mem leak upon termination of worker thread This could become bad if the (instance) worker threads are often started and terminated. But it takes quite a while to show effect. - added documentation tarball and also install the html documentation new subpackage rsyslog-doc - drop rsyslog-pid-file.patch: patch is included in update - added rsyslog-8.4.0_implicit_declaration.patch: include sys/time.h for gettimeofday ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jul 16 15:17:34 UTC 2014 - jsegitz@suse.com - Preliminary AppArmor support. Since those profiles need to be tested properly they'll live in /etc/apparmor/profiles/extras. - Added rsyslog-pid-file.patch to fix a regression that causes the pid file to be created in /etc ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 4 19:40:26 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - rsyslog 8.2.2 [v8-stable] * made contributed modules build under v8 - add mmrfc5424addhmac, was removed in upgrade to v8-stable series - fix warning about missing symlink /usr/sbin/rcrsyslog -> /usr/sbin/service ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 19 07:37:34 UTC 2014 - mt@suse.com - rpm: use _rundir rpm macro if defined (bnc#873857) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat May 17 10:02:12 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com - adjust default configuration to address warning: "rsyslogd-2307: warning: ~ action is deprecated, consider using the 'stop' statement instead" ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 14 06:37:40 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com - rsyslog 8.2.1 [v8-stable] * permits to build against json-c 0.12 Unfortunately, json-c had an ABI breakage, so this is necessary. Note that versions prior to 0.12 had security issues (CVE-2013-6370, CVE-2013-6371) and so it is desirable to link against the new version. Thanks to Thomas D. for the patch. Note that at least some distros have fixed the security issue in older versions of json-c, so this seems to apply mostly when building from sources. * doc is no longer shipped as part of the rsyslog tarball Instead, the rsyslog-doc project creates its own tarball. This is the result of a mailing list discussion after the 8.2.0 release with a tarball-in-tarball approach, which was disliked by almost all distro maintainers. This move also has the advantage of de-coupling the release cycles of both projects a bit (which turned out to be a bit problematic in practice). * bugfix: mmutf8fix did not detect two invalid sequences ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 14 06:31:47 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com - rsyslog 8.2.0 [v8-stable] This starts a new stable branch based on 8.1.6 plus the following changes: * we now use doc from the rsyslog-doc project As such, the ./doc subtree has been removed. Instead, a cache of the rsyslog-doc project's files has been included in ./rsyslog-doc.tar.gz. Note that the exact distribution mode for the doc is still under discussion and may change in future releases. This was agreed upon on the rsyslog mailing list. For doc issues and corrections, be sure to work with the rsyslog-doc project. It is currently hosted at https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-doc * add support for specifying the liblogging-stdlog channel spec new global parameter "stdlog.channelspec" * add "defaultnetstreamdrivercertfile" global variable to set a default for the certfile. * omelasticsearch: add new "usehttps" parameter for secured connections * "action resumed" message now also specifies module type which makes troubleshooting a bit easier. Note that we cannot output all the config details (like destination etc) as this would require much more elaborate code changes, which we at least do not like to do in the stable version. * add capability to override GnuTLS path in build process * better and more consistent action naming, action queues now always contain the word "queue" after the action name * bugfix: ompipe did resume itself even when it was still in error ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 14 06:27:10 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com - rsyslog 7.6.4 [v7-stable] * removed obsolete --disable-fsstnd configure option * permits to build against json-c 0.12 * new omfile default module parameters: filecreatemode fileowner fileownernum filegroup filegroupnum dirowner dirownernum dirgroup dirgroupnum * bugfix: using UUID property could cause segfault * bugfix: mmutf8fix did not detect two invalid sequences ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 27 17:53:15 UTC 2014 -

rsgtutil provides better error messages on unfinished signature blocks - bugfix: guard against control characters in internal (error) messages - bugfix: immark did emit messages under kern.=info instead of syslog.=info Note that his can potentially break exisiting configurations that rely on immark sending as kern.=info. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 11 22:53:14 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.4.7 [v7.4-stable] [bnc#855058] - bugfix: limiting queue disk space did not work properly - bugfix: linux kernel-like ratelimiter did not work properly with all inputs (for example, it did not work with imdup). - bugfix: disk queues created files in wrong working directory - bugfix: legacy directive $ActionQueueWorkerThreads was not honored - bugfix: segfault on startup when certain script constructs are used e.g. "if not $msg ..." - bugfix: imuxsock: UseSysTimeStamp config parameter did not work correctly - bugfix: $SystemLogUseSysTimeStamp/$SystemLogUsePIDFromSystem did not work - improved checking of queue config parameters on startup -

andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.4.6 [v7.4-stable] [bnc#848574] - bugfix: potential abort during HUP - bugfix: imtcp flowControl parameter incorrectly defaulted to "off" - now requires libestr 0.1.9 for number handling in RainerScript - bugfix: memory leak in strlen() RainerScript function - bugfix: buffer overrun if re_extract function was called for submatch 50 - bugfix: memleak in re_extract() function - bugfix: potential abort in RainerScript optimizer - bugfix: memory leak in omhiredis - bugfix: segfault if variable was assigned to non-container subtree ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 28 22:36:04 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.4.5 [v7.4-stable] - mmanon: removed the check for specific "terminator characters" - now requires libestr 0.1.8 - omelasticsearch: add failed.httprequests stats counter -

better error messages in GuardTime signature provider - make rsyslog use the new json-c pkgconfig file if available - bugfix: imfile parameter "persistStateInterval" was unusable due to a case typo in imfile; work-around was to use legacy config - bugfix: TLV16 flag encoding error in signature files from GT provider This fixes a problem where the TLV16 flag was improperly encoded. Unfortunately, existing files already have the bug and may not properly be processed. The fix uses constants from the GuardTime API lib to prevent such problems in the future. - bugfix: slightly malformed SMTP handling in ommail - bugfix: segfault in omprog if no template was provided (now dflt is used) - bugfix: segfault in ompipe if no template was provided (now dflt is used) - bugfix: segfault in omsnmp if no template was provided (now dflt is used) - bugfix: some omsnmp optional config params were flagged as mandatory - bugfix: segfault in omelasticsearch when resuming queued messages after restarting Elasticsearch - bugfix: imtcp addtlframedelimiter could not be set to zero - doc bugfix: remove no-longer existing omtemplate from developer doc was specifically mentioned as a sample for creating new plugins ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Jul 20 12:52:05 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.4.3 [v7.4-stable] - bugfix: memory leak if disk queues were used and json data rresent - bugfix: CEE/json data was lost during disk queue operation - bugfix: potential segfault during startup on invalid config - bugfix: 100% CPU utilization when DA queue became full - bugfix: omlibdbi did not properly close connection on some errors - cosmetic bugfix: file name buffer was not freed on disk queue destruction ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 5 08:25:02 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Update to 7.4.2 [v7.4-stable] (bnc#828140,CVE-2013-4758): - bugfix: in RFC5425 TLS, multiple wildcards in auth could cause segfault - bugfix: RainerScript object required parameters were not properly checked - this clould result to segfaults on startup if parameters were missing. - bugfix: double-free in omelasticsearch closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461 a security advisory for this bug is available at: http://www.lsexperts.de/advisories/lse-2013-07-03.txt PLEASE NOTE: This issue only existed if omelasticsearch was used in a non-default configuration, where the "errorfile" parameter was specified. Without that parameter set, the bug could not be triggered. Thanks to Markus Vervier and Marius Ionescu for providing a detailled bug report. Special thanks to Markus for coordinating his security advisory with us. - bugfix: omrelp potential segfault at startup on invalid config parameters - bugfix: small memory leak when $uptime property was used - bugfix: potential segfault on rsyslog termination in imudp closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456 - bugfix: lmsig_gt abort on invalid configuration parameters closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448 Thanks to Risto Laanoja for the patch. - imtcp: fix typo in "listner" parameter, which is "listener" Currently, both names are accepted. - solved build problems on FreeBSD closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457 closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458 Thanks to Christiano for reproting and suggesting patches - solved build problems on CENTOS5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 26 10:48:34 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Use --enable-cached-man-pages configure option on SLES-11, where rst2man is not available and removed prebuilt man pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Jun 22 20:54:14 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.4.1 [v7.4-stable]: - imjournal: add ratelimiting capability - bugfix imzmq3: potential segfault on startup - includes changes from 7.4.0 [v7.4-stable]: - doc bugfix: ReadMode wrong in imfile doc, two values were swapped - imjournal: no longer do periodic wakeup - bugfix: potential hang *in debug mode* on rsyslogd termination - bugfix: $template statement with multiple spaces lead to invalid tpl name - 0mq fixes - includes changes from version 7.3.15 - bugfix: problem in build system (especially when cross-compiling) - bugfix: imjournal had problem with systemd journal API change - imjournal: now obtain and include PID - bugfix: .logsig files had tlv16 indicator bit at wrong offset - bugfix: omrelp legacy config parameters set a timeout of zero which lead the legacy config to be unusable. - bugfix: segfault on startup if a disk queue was configure without file name - bugfix: invalid addressing in string class (recent regression) - packaging changes: - rebase rsyslog-unit.patch - move libee/liblognorm dependencies to mmnormalize conditional ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jun 14 04:17:57 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org - Required version of pkgconfig(relp) is >= 1.0.3 - Requires version of libsystemd-journal is >= 197 - Notify systemd on sucessful startup of the daemon to avoid confusing behaviour such as : http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2013-06/msg00603.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 13 09:42:56 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Fixed SLES-11 build that does not have rst2man/python-docutils; added pre-built rscryutil.1 and rsgtutil.1 as sources because v7.3.14 does not ship them pre-built any more. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 7 18:27:48 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - update to 7.3.14 [beta] 2013-05-06: - bugfix: some man pages were not properly installed either rscryutil or rsgtutil man was installed, but not both. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch. - bugfix: potential segfault on startup when builtin module was specified in module() statement. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for reporting the bug. - bugfix: segfault due to invalid dynafile cache handling Accidently, the old-style cache size parameter was used when the dynafile cache was created in a RainerScript action. If the old-style size was lower than the one actually set, this lead to misadressing when the size was overrun, and that could lead to all kinds of “interesting things”, often in segfaults. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 30 13:59:30 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Adopted config file to stop instead of deprecated "~" action. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 30 10:49:01 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Enabled log file signing module lmsig_gt using GuardTime as separate rsyslog-module-guardtime package. - Moved previously enabled log file encryption module lmcry_gcry and its utility into a separate rsyslog-module-gcrypt package. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 30 07:56:12 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - update to 7.3.13 [beta] 2013-04-29: - added omrabbitmq module (contributed, untested) Note: this is unsupported and as such was moved immediately into the beta version. Thanks to Vaclav Tomec for providing this module. - bugfix: build problem when –enable-encryption was not selected Thanks to Michael Biebl for fixing this. - doc bugfix: omfile parameter “VeryRobustZip” was documentas as “VeryReliableZip” closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437 Thanks to Thomas Doll for reporting this. - update to 7.3.12 [devel] 2013-04-25: - added doc for omelasticsearch Thanks to Radu Gheorghe for the doc contribution. - omelasticsearch: _id field support for bulk operations closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392 Thanks to Jérôme Renard for the idea and patches. - max number of templates for plugin use has been increased to five - platform compatibility enhancement: solve compile issue with libgcrypt do not use GCRY_CIPHER_MODE_AESWRAP where not available fix compile on Solaris Thanks to Martin Carpenter for the patch. - bugfix: off-by-one error in handling local FQDN name (regression) A remporary buffer was allocated one byte too small. Did only affect startup, not actual operations. Came up during routine tests, and can have no effect once the engine runs. Introduced in 7.3.11. - bugfix: build problems on Solaris closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436 - bugfix: block size limit was not properly honored - bugfix: potential segfault in guardtime signature provider it could segfault if an error was reported by the GuardTime API, because an invalid free could happen then - update to 7.3.11 [devel] 2013-04-23 - added support for encrypting log files (lmcry_gcry plugin) - omhiredis: added support for redis pipeline support Thanks to Brian Knox for the patch. - bugfix: $PreserveFQDN is not properly working Thanks to Louis Bouchard for the patch closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426 - bugfix: imuxsock aborted due to problem in ratelimiting code Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. - bugfix: imuxsock aborted under some conditions regression from ratelimiting enhancements – this was a different one to the one Tomas Heinrich patched. - bugfix: timestamp problems in imkmsg - Enabled systemd imjournal,omjournal modules on > 12.3. - Enabled mmanon, providing anonymization support - Enabled lmcry_gcry.so, providing log file encryption support and the rscryutil utility to manage the encrypted log files. - Removed obsolete --enable-pthreads configure option. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 19 21:53:30 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - rsyslogd.conf removed from upstream tarball, no longer install as documentation. - build requirement for libestr is >= 0.1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 19 09:11:23 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - update to 7.2.7 [v7-stable] 2013-04-17: - rsyslogd startup information is now properly conveyed back to init when privileges are beging dropped. Actually, we have moved termination of the parent in front of the priv drop. So it shall work now in all cases. See code comments in commit for more details. - If forking, the parent now waits for a maximum of 60 seconds for termination by the child - improved debugging support in forked (auto-backgrounding) mode. The rsyslog debug log file is now continued to be written across the fork. - updated systemd files to match current systemd source - bugfix: failover/action suspend did not work correctly This was experienced if the retry action took more than one second to complete. For suspending, a cached timestamp was used, and if the retry took longer, that timestamp was already in the past. As a result, the action never was kept in suspended state, and as such no failover happened. The suspend functionalit now does no longer use the cached timestamp (should not have any performance implication, as action suspend occurs very infrequently). - bugfix: nested if/prifilt conditions did not work properly closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415 - bugfix: script == comparison did not work properly on JSON objects [backport from 7.3 branch] - bugfix: imudp scheduling parameters did affect main thread, not imudp closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=409 - bugfix: imuxsock rate-limiting could not be configured via legacy conf Rate-limiting for the system socket could not be configured via legacy configuration directives. However, the new-style RainerScript config options worked. Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390 - bugfix: using group resolution could lead to endless loop Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310 - bugfix: $mmnormalizeuseramsg paramter was specified with wrong type Thank to Renzhong Zhang for alerting us of the problem. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=420 - bugfix: RainerScript getenv() function caused segfault when var was not found. Thanks to Philippe Muller for the patch. - bugfix: several issues in imkmsg see bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421#c8 - bugfix: imuxsock was missing SysSock.ParseTrusted module parameter To use that functionality, legacy rsyslog.conf syntax had to be used. Also, the doc was missing information on the "ParseTrusted" set of config directives. - bugfix: parameter action.execOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended was accidently of integer-type. For obvious reasons, it needs to be boolean. Note that this change can break existing configurations if they circumvented the problem by using 0/1 values. - doc bugfix: rsyslog.conf man page had invalid file format info closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=418 - update to 7.2.6 [v7-stable] 2013-03-05: - slightly improved config parser error messages when invalid escapes happen - bugfix: include files got included in the wrong order closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=411 This happens if an $IncludeConfig directive was done on multiple files (e.g. the distro default of $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf). In that case, the order of include file processing is reversed, which could lead to all sorts of problems. Thanks to Nathan Stratton Treadway for his great analysis of the problem, which made bug fixing really easy. - bugfix: omelasticsearch failed when authentication data was provided ... at least in most cases it emitted an error message: "snprintf failed when trying to build auth string" Thanks to Joerg Heinemann for alerting us. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404 - bugfix: some property-based filter were incorrectly parsed This usually lead to a syntax error on startup and rsyslogd not actually starting up. The problem was the regex, which did not care for double quote characters to follow in the action part - unfortunately something that can frequently happen with v6+ format. An example: :programname, isequal, "as" {action(type="omfile" ...) } Here, the part :programname, isequal, "as" {action(type="omfile" was treated as the property filter, and the rest as action part. Obviously, this did not work out. Unfortunately, such situations usually resulted in very hard to understand error messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 16 08:49:49 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Fixed service file to pass $RSYSLOGD_PARAMS to rsyslogd again. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Apr 14 06:35:09 UTC 2013 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org - Fix systemd units to do exactly what is documented as required --> http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/syslog In particular, it must not mess with the ordering of syslog.target this is done by removing the custom unit and adapting the upstream one with openSUSE additions (rsyslog-unit.patch) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 29 11:53:49 UTC 2013 - vcizek@suse.com - restore SELinux label when creating xconsole (bnc#812447) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 19 16:25:03 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Fixed rsyslog.service file to support reload (bnc#803994) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 15 09:35:07 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de - Fixed relp build requires change, which broke SLE-11 build. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 14 21:59:15 UTC 2013 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 7.2.5 [v7-stable]: - build system cleanup - bugfix: omelasticsearch did not properly compile on some platforms due to missing libmath - bugfix: on termination, actions were incorrectly called - bugfix: very large memory consumption (and probably out of memory) when FromPos was specified in template, but ToPos not. - bugfix: timeval2syslogTime cause problems on some platforms due to invalid assumption on structure data types. - bugfix: compile errors in im3195 - bugfix: doGetFileCreateMode() had invalid validity check - bugfix: mmjsonparse errornously returned action error when no CEE cookie was present. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 9 14:05:53 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.com - Enable rsyslog.service and create the syslog.service alias link in post install -- regardless of a preset config (bnc#790805). - Check the existence of /etc/init.d/syslog script before calling the restart_on_update and stop_on_removal macros to avoid errors on update. Since openSUSE 12.3, no syslog init script is shipped (bnc#790298,bnc#750478). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 7 10:58:19 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.com - Update to 7.2.4 [v7-stable] with following changes: - enhance: permit RFC3339 timestamp in local log socket messages Thanks to Sebastien Ponce for the patch. - imklog: added ParseKernelTimestamp parameter (import from 5.10.2) Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch. - fix missing functionality: ruleset(){} could not specify ruleset queue The "queue.xxx" parameter set was not supported, and legacy ruleset config statements did not work (by intention). The fix introduces the "queue.xxx" parameter set. It has some regression potential, but only for the new functionality. Note that using that interface it is possible to specify duplicate queue file names, which will cause trouble. This will be solved in v7.3, because there is a too-large regression potential for the v7.2 stable branch. - imklog: added KeepKernelTimestamp parameter (import from 5.10.2) Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch. - bugfix: imklog mistakenly took kernel timestamp subseconds as nanoseconds ... actually, they are microseconds. So the fractional part of the timestamp was not properly formatted. (import from 5.10.2) Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the bug report and the patch idea. - bugfix: supportoctetcountedframing parameter did not work in imptcp - bugfix: modules not (yet) supporting new conf format were not properly registered. This lead to a "module not found" error message instead of the to-be-expected "module does not support new style" error message. That invalid error message could be quite misleading and actually stop people from addressing the real problem (aka "go nuts" ;)) - bugfix: template "type" parameter is mandatory (but was not) - bugfix: some message properties could be garbled due to race condition This happened only on very high volume systems, if the same message was being processed by two different actions. This was a regression caused by the new config processor, which did no longer properly enable msg locking in multithreaded cases. The bugfix is actually a refactoring of the msg locking code - we no longer do unlocked operations, as the use case for it has mostly gone away. It is potentially possible only at very low-end systems, and there the small additional overhead of doing the locking does not really hurt. Instead, the removal of that capability can actually slightly improve performance in common cases, as the code path is smaller and requires slightly less memory writes. That probably outperforms the extra locking overhead (which in the low-end case always happens in user space, without need for kernel support as we can always directly aquire the lock - there is no contention at all). - Removed imklog-kernel-timestamp-parsing (bnc#783967) patch obsoleted by this version. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Nov 23 01:28:46 UTC 2012 - mrueckert@suse.de - fix zeromq support ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Nov 23 01:01:01 UTC 2012 - mrueckert@suse.de - fix hiredis support ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Nov 22 23:44:27 UTC 2012 - mrueckert@suse.de - enabled elastic search support (build enabled by default): -> new buildrequires curl devel -> new subpackage rsyslog-module-elasticsearch - added --enable-unlimited-select - added --enable-imttcp: -> this module is packaged in the main package as it has no new dependencies - added --enable-imdiag -> this module is packaged in the diag package - prepared adding support for hiredis, hdfs, mongodb and zeromq ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Nov 22 14:12:36 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Update to 7.2.3 (v7-stable) a release providing following fixes: - regression fix: rsyslogd terminated when wild-card $IncludeConfig did not find actual include files. For example, if this directive is present: $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf and there are no *.conf files in /etc/rsyslog.d (but rsyslog.d exists), rsyslogd will emit an error message and terminate. Previous (and expected) behaviour is that an empty file set is no problem. HOWEVER, if the directory itself does not exist, this is flagged as an error and will load to termination (no startup). Unfortunately, this is often the case by default in many distros, so this actually prevents rsyslog startup. - doc improvements - enabled to build without libuuid, at loss of uuid functionality this enables smoother builds on older systems that do not support libuuid. Loss of functionality should usually not matter too much as uuid support has only recently been added and is very seldom used. - bugfix: omfwd did not properly support "template" parameter - bugfix: potential segfault when re_match() function was used Thanks to oxpa for the patch. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371 - bugfix: potential abort of imtcp on rsyslogd shutdown - bugfix: imzmq3 segfault with PULL subscription Thanks to Martin Nilsson for the patch. - bugfix: improper handling of backslash in string-type template()s - bugfix: leading quote (") in string-type template() lead to thight loop on startup - bugfix: no error msg on invalid field option in legacy/string template - bugfix: potential segfault due to invalid param handling in comparisons This could happen in RainerScript comparisons (like contains); in some cases an unitialized variable was accessed, which could lead to an invalid free and in turn to a segfault. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372 Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for reporting this bug and his great help in solving it. - bugfix: no error msg on unreadable $IncludeConfig path - bugfix: $IncludeConfig did not correctly process directories closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376 The testbench was also enhanced to check for these cases. Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for the bug report. - bugfix: make rsyslog compile on kfreebsd again closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380 Thanks to Guillem Jover for the patch. - bugfix: garbled message if field name was used with jsonf property option The length for the field name was invalidly computed, resulting in either truncated field names or including extra random data. If the random data contained NULs, the rest of the message became unreadable. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374 - bugfix: potential segfault at startup with property-based filter If the property name was followed by a space before the comma, rsyslogd aborted on startup. Note that no segfault could happen if the initial startup went well (this was a problem with the config parser). closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381 - bugfix: imfile discarded some file parts File lines that were incomplete (LF missing) *at the time imfile polled the file* were partially discarded. That part of the line that was read without the LF was discarded, and the rest of the line was submitted in the next polling cycle. This is now changed so that the partial content is saved until the complete line is read. Note that the patch affects only read mode 0. Thanks to Milan Bartos for providing the base idea for the solution. - Merged also fixes for unreliable kernel timestamp regression (bnc#783967), which will be picked up in a later v7-stable release: - imklog: added $klogParseKernelTimestamp option (default off), wich reverts to the 5.8.x behavior to use receive time for the kernel messages instead to try parse and convert the kernel timestamp, what is not reliable on some hardware (intel i7/Xeon). - imklog: added $klogKeepKernelTimestamp option (default off), causing to not remove the kernel timestamp from the message after a successful conversion. - imklog: fixed a conversion bug causing a <1sec incorrectness of the message time when the kernel timestamp is parsed. - Removed {} arround RSYSLOG_PARAMS variable in service file. systemd seems sometimes to not like it any more (bnc#788330). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 20 11:44:16 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Require syslog-service >= 2.0 on 12.3, otherwise < 2.0, which contain the /etc/init.d/syslog init script. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 13 10:31:24 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - imuxsock: do not log EAGAIN in nonblocking recvfrom (bnc#734672) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 12 17:21:43 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Removed handling of the -c <compat version> option which is obsolete in rsyslog-7.x. - Fixed build requires / deps to work on 12.x and SLE-11-SP2. - Initialized RSYSLOG_PARAMS env variable in service file. - Marked additional log socket config as ghost. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Nov 9 13:38:35 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Readded things removed in previous change, that is compat version and params variable use, generation of additional (chroot) log sockets include file, xconsole handling in rsyslog.service. - Fixed liblognorm conditional build flag dependencies, removed all suse version dependencies. - Changed to install in /usr/sbin, compatibility link in /sbin. - Added klogd to build conflicts to resolve build service deps ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 6 12:36:54 UTC 2012 - tittiatcoke@gmail.com - Enabled rsyslog own systemd service file. This to resolve the current issue with a non starting system logger with systemd 185. (see also bnc#788330) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 29 15:39:26 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Update to 7.2.1 (v7-stable), a pure bug-fixing release: - bugfix: ruleset()-object did only support a single statement - added -D rsyslogd option to enable config parser debug mode - improved syntax error messages by outputting the error token - the rsyslog core now suspeneds actions after 10 failures in a row. This was former the case after 1,000 failures and could cause rsyslog to be spammed/ressources misused. See the v6 compatibility doc for more details. - ommongodb rate-limits error messages to prevent spamming the syslog closes (for v7.2): http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366 - Enabled compilation of kmsg, the kernel’s new structured logging system modile, mmaudit the message modification module supporting Linux audit format and mmjsonparse providing the cee-enhanced syslog format support message modification module. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 24 15:01:53 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Update to 7.2.0 (v7-stable) a full structured-logging/CEE enabled version which provides following features compared to v5-stable: * greatly improved configuration language – the new language is much more intuitive than the legacy format. It will also prevent some typical mistakes simply be not permitting these invalid constructs. Note that legacy format is still fully supported (and you can of course do the same mistakes if you use legacy format). * greatly improved execution engine – with nested if/then/else constructs as well as the capability to modify variables during processing. * full support for structured logging and project lumberjack/CEE. this includes everything from being able to create, interpret and handle JSON-based structured log messages, including the ability to normalize legacy text log messages. * more plugins – like support for MongoDB, HDFS, and ElasticSearch as well as for the kernel’s new structured logging system. * higher performance – many optimizations all over the code, like 5 to 10 times faster execution time for script-based filters, enhanced multithreaded TCP input plugin, DNS cache and many more. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 17 14:33:35 UTC 2012 - fcrozat@suse.com - Fix build with new systemd location. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 17 14:13:38 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Use RFC-5424 conform log format with RFC-3339 high-precision timestamps by default, removed obsolete rsyslog.early.conf. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 24 17:58:16 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - prevent installation with other providers of syslog (bnc#780608) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 21 08:09:46 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Changed default /etc/rsyslog.conf we install to not use multiple facilities with the same priority pattern in one statement using the comma operator. This started to cause a start failure with rsyslog-6.4.x (bnc#780607) and seems to be a bug in rsyslog. Upstream report http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=358, switched to use alternative syntax using semicolon separator. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 20 21:39:48 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 6.4.2 [V6-STABLE] 2012-09-20: - bugfix: potential abort, if action queue could not be properly started - bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock - bugfix: missing support for escape sequences in RainerScript - bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct return state ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 20 21:20:17 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - add rsyslog-6.4.1-CheckConnection-no-return-in-nonvoid-function.patch to fix rsyslog no-return-in-nonvoid-function netstrm.c:258 in CheckConnection() ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 17 12:13:04 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Update to 6.4.1 [V6-STABLE] 2012-09-06: - bugfix: multiple main queues with same queue file name were not detected. This lead to queue file corruption. While the root cause is a config error, it is a bug that this important and hard to find config error was not detected by rsyslog. - bugfix: “jsonf” property replacer option did generate invalid JSON in JSON, we have “fieldname”:”value”, but the option emitted “fieldname”=”value”. Interestingly, this was accepted by a couple of sinks, most importantly elasticsearch. Now the correct format is emitted, which causes a remote chance that some things that relied on the wrong format will break. Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch - change $!all-json did emit an empty (thus non-JSON) string if no libee data was present. It now emits {} and thus valid JSON. There is a small risk that this may break some things that relied on the previous inconsistency. Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch - bugfix: omusrsmsg incorrect return state & config warning handling. During config file processing, Omusrmsg often incorrectly returned a warning status, even when no warning was present (caused by uninitialized variable). Also, the core handled warning messages incorrectly, and treated them as errors. As a result, omusrmsg (most often) could not properly be loaded. Note that this only occurs with legacy config action syntax. This was a regression caused by an incorrect merge in to the 6.3.x codebase. Thanks to Stefano Mason for alerting us of this bug. - bugfix: Fixed TCP CheckConnection handling in omfwd.c. Interface needed to be changed in lower stream classes. Syslog TCP Sending is now resumed properly. Unfixed, that lead to non-detection of downstate of remote hosts. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 4 18:32:29 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - License is (GPL-3.0+ and Apache-2.0), [bnc#778591] - The template subpackage was never published, remove obsoletes ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 31 23:29:43 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 6.4.0 [BETA] 2012-08-20 This is the first version of the 6.4.0 stable branch. http://www.rsyslog.com/changelog/ - add rsyslog-6.3.11-glblCheckCnf-no-return-in-nonvoid-function.patch to fix compiler warning - rsyslog-6.2.2-link-libestr.patch no longer required - template functionality was removed upstream ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Aug 27 20:02:00 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - add support for mmnormalize (via liblognorm) and template modules ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 3 19:58:13 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - update to 6.2.2 [V6-stable] 2012-06-13 http://www.rsyslog.com/changelog-for-6-2-2-v6-stable/ - add rsyslog-6.2.2-link-libestr.patch to correctly link against libestr ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jul 1 16:39:21 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - updated to 5.8.12 [V5-stable] 2012-06-06 - add small delay (50ms) after sending shutdown message - support for resolving huge groups - bugfix: delayble source could block action queue, even if there was - bugfix: disk queue was not persisted on shutdown, regression of fix to - bugfix/omudpspoof: problems, including abort, happend when run on - bugfix: if debug message could end up in log file when forking - bugfix/tcpflood: sending small test files did not work correctly - bugfix: potential hang due to mutex deadlock - bugfix: property PROCID empty instead of proper nilvalue if not present ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 7 10:31:08 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Updated to 5.8.11 [V5-stable] 2012-05-03: - bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action instances using ommysql. Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on, I need to add more code to clean the mess up). - bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked due to unvailable sources. Fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299 Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it. - bugfix: active input in “light delay state” could block rsyslog termination, at least for prolonged period of time - bugfix: imptcp input name could not be set. Config directive was accepted, but had no effect bugfix: assigned ruleset was lost when using disk queues This looked quite hard to diagnose for disk-assisted queues, as the pure memory part worked well, but ruleset info was lost for messages stored inside the disk queue. - bugfix: hostname was not requeried on HUP Thanks to Per Jessen for reporting this bug and Marius Tomaschewski for his help in testing the fix. - bugfix: inside queue.c, some thread cancel states were not correctly reset. While this is a bug, we assume it did have no practical effect because the reset as it was done was set to the state the code actually had at this point. But better fix this… - Removed obsolete requery hostname patch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 12 09:22:38 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Added upstream patchset to requery hostname on HUP (bnc#755857) - Removed obsolete rsyslog-5.8.7-systemd-log-socket.patch - Updated to 5.8.10 [V5-stable] 2012-04-05: - bugfix: segfault on startup if $actionqueuefilename was missing for disk queue config.

The truncation occured because we removed that part of the messages that was expected to be the date. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295 - bugfix: potential abort after reading invalid X.509 certificate closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290 Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch - bugfix: stats counter were not properly initialized on creation - FQDN hostname for multihomed host was not always set to the correct name if multiple aliases existed. Thanks to Tomas Heinreich for the patch. - updated to 5.8.6 [V5-stable]: - bugfix: missing whitespace after property-based filter was not detected - bugfix: $OMFileFlushInterval period was doubled - now using correct value - bugfix: ActionQueue could malfunction due to index error Thanks to Vlad Grigorescu for the patch - bugfix: $ActionExecOnlyOnce interval did not work properly Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch - bugfix: race condition when extracting program name, APPNAME, structured data and PROCID (RFC5424 fields) could lead to invalid characters e.g. in dynamic file names or during forwarding (general malfunction ofthese fields in templates, mostly under heavy load) - bugfix: imuxsock did no longer ignore message-provided timestamp, if so configured (the *default*). Lead to no longer sub-second timestamps. closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281 - bugfix: omfile returns fatal error code for things that go really wrong previously, RS_RET_RESUME was returned, which lead to a loop inside the rule engine as omfile could not really recover. - bugfix: imfile did invalid system call under some circumstances when a file that was to be monitored did not exist BUT the state file actually existed. Mostly a cosmetic issue. Root cause was incomplete error checking in stream.c; so patch may affect other code areas. - bugfix: rsyslogd -v always said 64 atomics were not present thanks to mono_matsuko for the patch - Changed /etc/rsyslog.early.conf to just include rsyslog.conf, fixed spec to use sd-daemon.[ch] from docs on 11.4 only. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 20 12:11:18 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com - Cleaned up the config files a bit, updated comments in config file, marked the /etc/rsyslog.early.conf obsolete. Note: rsyslog will be started early/before network using its normal /etc/rsyslog.conf config file (adopted scripts in syslog-service package). When any kind of remote logging is in use, then on-disk queues should be enabled. To start it after the network, please set the SYSLOG_REQUIRES_NETWORK=yes variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog (bnc#728565). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 7 12:58:48 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de - update to 5.8.5 [V5-stable] - bugfix/security: off-by-two bug in legacy syslog parser, CVE-2011-3200 bnc#714658 - bugfix: mark message processing did not work correctly - bugfix: potential hang condition during tag emulation - bugfix: too-early string termination during tag emulation - bugfix: The NUL-Byte for the syslogtag was not copied in MsgDup (msg.c) - bugfix: fixed incorrect state handling for Discard Action (transactions) Note: This caused all messages in a batch to be set to COMMITTED, even if they were discarded. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Aug 24 11:05:18 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - Adopted to require new syslog-service package on 12.x, that provides the /etc/init.d/syslog LSB init script and systemd syslog.service service file.

In most cases, this is quite unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some users may have had unreproducable aborts that were cause by this bug. - bugfix: memory leak in imtcp & subsystems under some circumstances This leak is tied to error conditions which lead to incorrect cleanup of some data structures. [backport from v6] - bugfix/improvement:$WorkDirectory now gracefully handles trailing slashes ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 31 12:14:59 UTC 2011 - aj@suse.de - Add systemd service file back (bnc#696963). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 27 07:53:38 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - Removed touch of obsolete /var/log/boot.log from spec post. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 19 15:43:28 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de - update to 5.8.1 - bugfix: invalid processing in QUEUE_FULL condition If the the multi-submit interface was used and a QUEUE_FULL condition occured, the failed message was properly destructed. However, the rest of the input batch, if it existed, was not processed. So this lead to potential loss of messages and a memory leak. The potential loss of messages was IMHO minor, because they would have been dropped in most cases due to the queue remaining full, but very few lucky ones from the batch may have made it. Anyhow, this has now been changed so that the rest of the batch is properly tried to be enqueued and, if not possible, destructed. - new module mmsnmptrapd, a sample message modification module This can be useful to reformat snmptrapd messages and also serves as a sample for how to write message modification modules using the output module interface. Note that we introduced this new functionality directly into the stable release, as it does not modify the core and as such cannot have any side-effects if it is not used (and thus the risk is solely on users requiring that functionality). - bugfix: rate-limiting inside imuxsock did not work 100% correct reason was that a global config variable was invalidly accessed where a listener variable should have been used. Also performance-improved the case when rate limiting is turned off (this is a very unintrusive change, thus done directly to the stable version). - bugfix: $myhostname not available in RainerScript (and no error message) closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233 - bugfix: memory and file descriptor leak in stream processing Leaks could occur under some circumstances if the file stream handler errored out during the open call. Among others, this could cause very big memory leaks if there were a problem with unreadable disk queue files. In regard to the memory leak, this closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256 - bugfix: doc for impstats had wrong config statements also, config statements were named a bit inconsistent, resolved that problem by introducing an alias and only documenting the consistent statements Thanks to Marcin for bringing up this problem. - bugfix: IPv6-address could not be specified in omrelp this was due to improper parsing of ":" closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250 - bugfix: TCP connection invalidly aborted when messages needed to be discarded (due to QUEUE_FULL or similar problem) - bugfix: $LocalHostName was not honored under all circumstances closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258 - bugfix(minor): improper template function call in syslogd.c ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 29 11:38:40 UTC 2011 - idoenmez@novell.com - Add rsyslog-5.6.5-memcpy.patch: fix overflowing memcpy call in runtime/net.c ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 27 16:19:31 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de - move most of the additional requirements and subpackages into conditionals so we can switch them on and off by more easily. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 26 12:30:17 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - Dropped obsolete rsyslog-systemd-integration.bnc656104.diff ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 26 12:20:16 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de - dont ship the systemd service file for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Apr 24 01:32:17 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de - update to 5.8.0 (v5-tsable) This is the new v5-stable branch, importing all feature from the 5.7.x versions. To see what has changed in regard to the previous v5-stable, check the entries for 5.7.x in /usr/share/doc/packages/rsyslog/ChangeLog. - bugfix: race condition in deferred name resolution closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238 Special thanks to Marcin for his persistence in helping to solve this bug. - bugfix: DA queue was never shutdown once it was started closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241 - dropped patch rsyslog-deferred-dns-query-race.diff included in the release - refreshed rsyslog-systemd-integration.bnc656104.diff: most of the patch went upstream just a small chunk left - fixed the with_dbi conditional, it was using the build_with_relp. - added a new conditional with_systemd and moved all the systemd specific things from suse_version >= 1140 to the with_systemd conditional. the patch line in the preamble should be unconditional. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 8 13:24:34 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - bugfix: race condition in deferred name resolution (id=238) from v5.8.0 candidate. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 24 16:34:31 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - Updated to 5.6.5 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes: * bugfix: failover did not work correctly if repeated msg reduction was on. affected directive: $ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended on * bugfix: omlibdbi did not use password from rsyslog.conf closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=203 * bugfix(kind of): tell users that config graph can currently not be generated closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232 * bugfix: discard action did not work under some circumstances fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217 (bnc#676041) * bugfix: potential abort condition when $RepeatedMsgReduction were set to on as well as potentially in a number of other places where MsgDup() was used. This only happened when the imudp input module was used and it depended on name resolution not yet had taken place. (bnc#679030) * bugfix: fixed a memory leak and potential abort condition this could happen if multiple rulesets were used and some output batches contained messages belonging to more than one ruleset. fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226 fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218 * bugfix: memory leak when $RepeatedMsgReduction on was used bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225 (bnc#681568) - Merged systemd socket activation support ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Feb 2 16:47:24 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - update to 5.6.3 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes (digest): * action processor released mememory too early, resulting in potential issue in retry cases (very unlikely). * batch processing flagged invalid message as "bad" under some circumstances * unitialized variable could cause issues under extreme conditions plus some minor nits. * batches which had actions in error were not properly retried in all cases * imfile did duplicate messages under some circumstances - enabled plain tcp input, unix socket output, last message parser and the libdbi module as separate package. - disabled systemd patch for openSUSE <= 11.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 20 14:10:59 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de - Improved systemd socket activation support to allow multiple unix sockets and activation in forking mode (bnc#656197). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 3 16:49:41 UTC 2010 - mt@suse.de - update to 5.6.2 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes: * compile failed on systems without epoll_create1() Thanks to David Hill for providing a fix. * atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on all platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch * replacements for atomic operations for non-int sized types had problems. At least one instance of that problem could potentially lead to abort (inside omfile). - Increased mark frequency in rsyslog.conf to 1 hour - Enabled duplicate message reduction in rsyslog.conf to catch at least buggy programs running amok and writting same message zillion times until the disk gets out of space (bnc#656197). - Merged rsyslog-systemd-integration.bnc656104.diff (fuzz=0). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 29 10:32:58 CET 2010 - mt@suse.de - update to 5.6.1 This release addresses a TLS bug, that has been bothering a lot of users lately. It stops rsyslog from looping, thus disabling functionality and bearing the risk of unresponsiveness of the whole system. Other issues have been fixed for imptcp, failing testbench, segfault on empty templates and failed compile. For more detailed information, please review the ChangeLog and http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194, http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=204, http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206. - applied systemd integration base patch (without the service and socket unit files, because we'll use same for all syslog damons) extracted from git master (bnc#656104). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Nov 20 16:15:46 UTC 2010 - coolo@novell.com - build with libnet-devel on 11.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Nov 15 14:59:21 UTC 2010 - chris@computersalat.de - update to 5.6.0 This release brings all changes and enhancements of the 5.5.x series to the v5-stable branch. - bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there) - bugfix: imfile utilizes 32 bit to track offset. Most importantly, this problem can not experienced on Fedora 64 bit OS (which has 64 bit long's!) - removed obsolete patch - xconsole-pipe-loop - rpmlint - name-repeated-in-summary C Rsyslog ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 28 17:21:03 UTC 2010 - mt@suse.de - Added $klogConsoleLogLevel 1 to the config, to use same default [KERNEL_LOGLEVEL in /etc/sysconfig/syslog] as klogd (bnc#593699). - Improved filter to discard iptables msgs higher err on console, changed to set default file template instead per file, removed duplicate filters (bnc#593699). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 27 12:01:44 UTC 2010 - mt@suse.de - Applied fix to avoid a tight send-retry loop in case there is nobody receiving the messages sent to the xconsole pipe (bnc#597293, http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=186). - Disabled relp support for < 11.3 (librelp is new) - Fixed to create /var/run/rsyslog in post-install (rpmlint) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 14 12:16:29 UTC 2010 - mrueckert@suse.de - dropped install_all_modules_in_lib conditional and all related code - new subpackages - enable RELP support. new depdendency librelp - enable diagnotic tools. - enable UDP spoof support. new dependency libnet - moved module paths to 2 variables defined on top of the spec ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Apr 13 08:56:15 UTC 2010 - mt@suse.de - Updated to rsyslog version 5.4.0 (v5-stable). This version begins a new stable series based on the 5.3.x series, which has been proven rather well in practice. The new 5.4.0 contains fixes for all known problems. See ChangeLog file for a detailed history. The main new feature is speed: several optimizations were done, including support for epoll in tcp listeners. - Added new lmzlibw.so and omruleset.so to the file list. - Recompressed original tar.gz source archive using bzip2. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 9 21:36:16 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de - Added read-only RSYSLOGD_NATIVE_VERSION sysconfig/syslog variable, that is set to the native mode version number for the -c parameter while every installation and used in the /etc/init.d/syslog script, except the user overrides this default in RSYSLOGD_COMPAT_VERSION. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 2 20:15:28 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de - Updated to rsyslog version 4.4.1 (v4-stable), a bug-fixing release, providing some important fixes for issues that have only been detected after the beta phase. Some of them are serious (like a segfault when UDP messageforwarding is activated), so users of 4.4.0 are urged to upgrade to this release. Changelog for 4.4.1: * features requiring Java are automatically disabled if Java is not present (thanks to Michael Biebl for his help!) * bugfix: invalid double-quoted PRI, among others in outgoing messages. This causes grief with all receivers. Bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147 * bugfix: Java testing tools were required, even if testbench was disabled. This resulted in build errors if no Java was present on the build system, even though none of the selected option actually required Java. (I forgot to backport a similar fix to newer releases). * bugfix (backport): omfwd segfault. Note that the orginal (higher version) patch states this happens only when debugging mode is turned on. That statement is wrong: if debug mode is turned off, the message is not being emitted, but the division by zero in the actual parameters still happens. - Removed jave2-devel-packages from build requires again ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 1 11:34:12 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de - Updated to rsyslog version 4.4.0, the actual stable 4.4.x series. It provides several bugfixes, performance improvements and new features: It adds generic network stream server for syslog, the capability to rebind the send socket of the UDP output section, allows multiple tcp listeners, multiple recipients in ommail, new plugins as omprog, improved documentation and testbench with a config switch. Please review ChangeLog file for details. - Removed obsolete moddirs patch (included in 4.4.0) - Added java2-devel-packages to BuildRequires (for test suite) - Enabled omprog and omtemplate plugins, added them and the lmstrmsrv plugin to the base-plugins file list. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Apr 20 17:35:16 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de - Improved config file comments about usage of additional modules provided in separate rsyslog-module packages. - Enabled GnuTLS (syslog-transport-tls) support module. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Apr 20 13:32:03 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de - Updated to rsyslog 3.20.6 [v3-stable] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Dec 15 14:51:08 CET 2008 - mt@suse.de - Security fix to honor $AllowedSender settings (bnc#457273). - Security fix [DoS] from 3.20.2 to emit a discard message every minute only (when DisallowWarning enabled) instead of every time; this prevernts an attacker can fill the disk (bnc#457273). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 10 15:11:05 CEST 2008 - schwab@suse.de - Run autoreconf. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 9 16:16:14 CEST 2008 - mt@suse.de - Enabled mail, imfile and imtemplate modules - Enabled snmp module, packaged as rsyslog-module-snmp - Added patch to support multiple module directories, in our case /lib[64]/rsyslog:/usr/lib[64]/rsyslog ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 4 15:15:14 CEST 2008 - mt@suse.de - initial rsyslog 3.18.3 package
