Title: Linux syslogd Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: LOW
Description:
Syslogd uses a unix domain stream socket (/dev/log) to recieve system log messages. Unix domain stream sockets require a connection to be made between client and server, meaning for each client served a separate process is created. It is possible to cause a denial of service by opening many local syslog connections in a short period of time.
