Bugzilla:
476564: CVE-2008-5618 rsyslog: DoS in the imupd plugin by emitting messages when a non-permitted sender tried to send a message to it

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

imudp in rsyslog 4.x before 4.1.2, 3.21 before 3.21.9 beta, and 3.20 before 3.20.2 generates a message even when it is sent by an unauthorized sender, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via a large number of spurious messages.
