                     Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
     _______________________________________________________________________

     Package name: sysklogd
     Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:038
     Date: April 28th, 2004

     Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
                             Multi Network Firewall 8.2
     ______________________________________________________________________

     Problem Description:

     Steve Grubb discovered a bug in sysklogd where it allocates an
     insufficient amount of memory which causes sysklogd to write to
     unallocated memory. This could allow for a malicious user to crash
     sysklogd.
     
     The updated packages provide a patched sysklogd using patches from
     Openwall to correct the problem and also corrects the use of an
     unitialized variable (a previous use of "count").
