3268f928dc Removed test to detect control characters > 0x20 as this prevented
characters encoded in UTF-8 to be properly passed through.  This
prevented a security-related patch by Solar Designer (1.29).

ed788aeeff Reset the 'restart' flag immediately after entering the restart code,
so that subsequent SIGHUPs are able to set it again and cause a new
restart.  This fixes a race condition when somebody sends tons of HUP
signals.

4d8248ba3e Remove trailing newline from forwarded messages. This would be turned
into a whitespace by the receiving syslogd and doesn't seem to be
required anyway.

4c09ec0516 Discard any timestamp information found in received syslog messages.
This will affect local messages sent from a different timezone.  Also
removed code due to the changed semantics.  This was inspired by
Anders Henke from Schlund + Partner AG.

bd22a26134 Removed atomic_t in the usecount field of the module struct for
compatibility reasons, since atomic_t is not defined in <asm/atomic.h>
on all architectures.

1836e84e94 Ulf Härnhammar <Ulf.Harnhammar.9485@student.uu.se>
Added boundary check for fscanf() in InitKsyms() and CheckMapVersion()
to prevent an unintended crash when reading an incorrect System.map.

Hello,

I have discovered a potential crash bug in sysklogd. The klogd daemon
doesn't handle really malformed System.map files very well. It has
two fscanf() calls with "%s"format strings that stores to char
sym[512] arrays. This causes a crash if the string field in the
file is longer than that.

Despite being a buffer overflow, this is not a security problem, as
only root can change the System.map file. Nevertheless, I think it
is worth fixing, as the Right Thing for a program should be not to
assume anything about its input and to handle various problems well.
