Package: syslog-ng
Version: 3.1.3-2
Severity: normal
Whilst overhauling our syslog infrastructure, I noticed garbage was appearing
in our logs. I use the following template when writing to files:
template("$ISODATE $FULLHOST <$FACILITY.$PRIORITY> $MSGHDR$MSGONLY\n")
It turns out[1] that normalize_hostnames() has an off-by-one problem and a
patch was produced[2] soon after 3.1.3 was released. The bug means
$HOST/$FULLHOST do not include a NULL terminator at the end of the string, so
garbage appears.
Any chance of including the fix?
Cheers

Hi,
#428424 was an Etch upgrade problem, might be fixed in the background,
doesn't happen with recent stable (Squeeze) version.
#429273 pid file is created correctly, user reported that bootclean
deleted it.
#533075 now syslog-ng is buildable many times in a row.
#550582 old, 2.0.9-4.2 NMU is accepted.
#611998 current version in Sid contains the HOST macro fix and
#612373 is also fixed with CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage with 2.6.38+ kernels.
