RHBA-2011:0936 - rsyslog bug fix update

Synopsis

rsyslog bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rsyslog packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rsyslog packages provide an enhanced, multi-threaded syslog daemon that supports MySQL, syslog/TCP, RFC 3195, permitted sender lists, filtering on any message part, and fine grained output format control.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the "$ActionSendStreamDriverMode" configuration directive did not have any effect on big-endian platforms. Due to this behavior, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption was not enabled. This update modifies the code to correctly process the configuration directive. Now, TLS encryption works as expected.

All users of rsyslog are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259/
