mitigate this vulnerability, restrict network access to the rsyslog service to only trusted hosts.

After modifying the rsyslog configuration or firewall rules, the rsyslog service or firewall service must be restarted for the changes to take effect.","source":"redhat","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-78002"}],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69540","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69541","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71603","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:80817","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:81321","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:84576","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:86124","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:87408","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:90349","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:91582","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-78002","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2521135","https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/security/advisories/GHSA-g72f-gc6v-f2w3","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/08/29/1"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-78002","modified":"2026-10-30T17:26:55.509Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-78002"}],"assessments":[{"source":"redhat","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-10-30T18:28:53.134Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-10-31T16:25:31.632Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"not-checked"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":{"text":"Rsyslog has a denial of service vulnerability via heap buffer overflow in the RainerScript replace() function, exploitable by an unauthenticated remote attacker sending specially crafted syslog messages.
