[linux-security] Re: [RHSA-1999:055-01] Denial of service attack insyslogd

[S/lawek /Lawicki <slawicki unisoft com pl>]

Can someone give me some more information about it? After upgrade sysklogd
to sysklogd-1.3.31-1.5.i386.rpm, I lost some information from the log
files (like logs about incoming mail in /var/log/maillog), and some
messages are displayed directly on a console (like who is logging in).
I've checked /etc/syslog.conf and it looks like the one before upgrade. 
Whats the point?
thanx
