Details: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-3243 The issue is about file permissions: by default rsyslog creates world-readable files. In case a log message contains some sensitive information, then that's exposed to every user on the system. However the rsyslog.conf file that is shipped with the recipe solves it: it already sets non-world-readable default permissions on all files, so this vulnerability is fixed in the default OE recipe. See also this package in OpenSuse[1], where it is solved the same way. [1]: https://build.opensuse.org/requests/619439/changes (rsyslog.conf.in) Signed-off-by: Gyorgy Sarvari <skandigraun@gmail.com> --- v2: updated the CVE_STATUS key to "backported-patch" due to the lack of a better one.
