Multiple buffer overflows in the Syslog server in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 6.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (SysEvttCol.exe process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Syslog PRI message header to UDP port (1) 513 or (2) 514. Fixed in 7.2 Build 7020.

Security readout for executives and security teams

ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer 6.1 has multiple buffer overflows in its Syslog server. A remote attacker could crash the SysEvttCol.exe process and might execute code. The source states the issue was fixed in 7.2 Build 7020. Exposure is most likely where EventLog Analyzer 6.1 is still running and its Syslog listener is reachable over UDP 513 or 514, especially from untrusted networks. Prioritize remediation if this product is internet-facing or receives logs from broad internal networks. The possible code execution impact raises business risk despite incomplete scoring data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected deployments to 7.2 Build 7020 or later.; Check ManageEngine guidance for supported upgrade paths and current fixes.; Restrict UDP 513 and 514 to trusted log sources only..
