Balabit Syslog-NG 1.4.x before 1.4.15, and 1.5.x before 1.5.20, when using template filenames or output, does not properly track the size of a buffer when constant characters are encountered during macro expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Balabit Syslog-NG versions can mishandle memory while expanding macros in template filenames or output. A remote attacker may be able to crash the logging service and possibly run code. The issue matters most where legacy syslog-ng still processes remote log data with those template features enabled. Exposure is limited to legacy Balabit Syslog-NG 1.4.x and 1.5.x installations below the fixed versions, especially systems accepting remote syslog input and using template filenames or template output. The source bundle does not identify newer versions or other products as affected. Prioritize remediation if any legacy syslog-ng servers remain in production. Logging infrastructure is operationally important, and a remotely triggered crash can reduce monitoring visibility. Possible code execution raises impact, but active exploitation is not proven in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Syslog-NG 1.4.x to 1.4.15 or later.; Upgrade Syslog-NG 1.5.x to 1.5.20 or later.; Apply applicable Debian, SuSE, Conectiva, or EnGarde vendor packages..
