From 23514c72b780f3da097ecf33a793b7ba9c2070d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] syslog: Fix heap buffer overflow in __vsyslog_internal
 (CVE-2023-6246)

__vsyslog_internal did not handle a case where printing a SYSLOG_HEADER
containing a long program name failed to update the required buffer
size, leading to the allocation and overflow of a too-small buffer on
the heap.  This commit fixes that.  It also adds a new regression test
that uses glibc.malloc.check.
