Vulnerability Discussion

The "rsyslogd" is a system utility providing support for message logging. Support for both internet and Unix domain sockets enables this utility to support local and remote logging. Couple this utility with "gnutls" (which is a secure communications library implementing the Secure Sockets Layer [SSL], Transport Layer Security [TLS], and Datagram TLS [DTLS] protocols), to create a method to securely encrypt and off-load auditing.
