Descriptions

The ACL handling in rsyslog 3.12.1 to 3.20.0, 4.1.0, and 4.1.1 does not follow $AllowedSender directive, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and spoof log messages or create a large number of spurious messages.

El manejador ACL de rsyslog v3.12.1 hasta v3.20.0, v4.1.0 y v4.1.1, no sigue la directiva $AllowSender, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar las restricciones de acceso pretendidas y falsear los mensajes de registro (log) o crear un gran número de mensajes falsos.
