Kernel memory leak done by syslog-ngLink to Kernel memory leak done by syslog-ng

  • Introduced: LORIX OS v1.3.0
  • Details: Upon logging, syslog-ng does a small memory leak in the kernel.
  • Consequences: after a few weeks to a few years (depending on logging frequency), the gateway RAM will be full and random services will get killed
  • Severity: very high
  • Workaround: restart the gateway upon a regular basis (e.g. once a week)
  • Fix: syslog-ng has been updated to v3.33.2 in LORIX OS 1.3.2

Do not use this version for production. Upgrade to LORIX OS >= 1.3.2.
