| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
LogWatch versions prior to 2.6
Description
The issue allows attackers to prevent LogWatch from detecting malicious activity via certain strings in the secure file that are later used as part of a regular expression, which causes the parser to crash. This can lead to a denial of service, disrupting the availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be performed remotely.
Recommendations
For LogWatch versions prior to 2.6, update to version 2.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the secure file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
