Package: logwatch
Version: 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1
Severity: normal
The barracuda filter in the logwatch package generates unmatched entries
like:
--------------------- barracuda spam firewall Begin ------------------------
**Unmatched Entries**
Mar 15 22:35:05 mx2 mimedefang.pl[15615]:
MDLOG,p2FLZ4id016590,mail_in,-2.91,192.42.125.239,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,This
trigers A bug in the barracuda logwatch filter.
---------------------- barracuda spam firewall End -------------------------
This is caused by the follwing code:
$ cat -n /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/barracuda |grep -A2 '^ *209'
209 } elsif ( $ThisLine =~ /\s[RECV|SCAN|SEND]\s/) {
210 push @OtherList,$ThisLine;
211 }
This code is supposed to be a catch-all case for not previously handled
log-lines
containng any of the words "RECV", "SCAN" or "SEND" (without quotes) surrounded
by space. But line 209 triggers on any single occurence of one of the chars
between the "[" and "]" that is surrounded by space. (On the " A " in the
logwatch output quoted above.)
Solution: Change line 209 to read:
} elsif ( $ThisLine =~ /\s(RECV|SCAN|SEND)\s/) {
Or disable or remove the entire barracuda filter. This filter doesn't seem to
be usefull for any of the packages distributed by debian.

Kees Theunissen.
