Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Balabit Syslog-NG versions 1.4.x through 1.4.14 Balabit Syslog-NG versions 1.5.x through 1.5.19

Description: The issue arises when using template filenames or output, and the software fails to properly track the size of a buffer during macro expansion when constant characters are encountered. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.
