Package: syslog-ng
Version: 2.0.0-1etch1
Severity: important
If you have 2 sources configured in your /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf that
reference udp() then it will segfault when it recieves a HUP. This happens
whenever the logs are rotated, thus leaving you without logging.
To reproduce:
Create your syslog-ng.conf file as:
source s_network_1 {
udp();
};
source s_network {
udp();
};
Run syslog. I ran it with the -F option so it didn't detatch.
Send it a HUP.
It'll segfault, somewhere in getutent according to the core file.
