62ec1253ee Only play with the network when the syslog port can be determined. 
Ignore networking otherwise, but continue working. (Debian Bug#226611)

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.

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.

3ee89e2c0b Patch: sysklogd-1.4.1-owl-longjmp.diff from Openwall 
From: Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>

1. Ensures that "len" is not placed in a register and as such can't be
clobbered by longjmp().  With the particular code, it does not really
matter whether it is clobbered or not, but this avoids the gcc warning.

2. Makes endtty() the signal handler only after the variable that
function uses is initialized.  In the original code, the signal
handler was setup too early and if there would be SIGALRM before
control reaches setjmp(), syslogd would segfault (if not worse).

Basically, this is a minor correctness patch.

ae499acae2 Moved the installation of the signal handler up a little bit so it 
guaranteed to be available when the child is forked, hence, fixing a
race condition.  This used to create problems with UML and fast
machines.  Thanks to Jon Burgess <Jon_Burgess@eur.3com.com>

0f9873bed4 On heavily loaded systems, some which are probably receiving a lot of 
syslog traffic through the network, there's a (not well researched)
problem with receiving messages on the syslog UDP port.  For some
reason recvfrom() results in EAGAIN.  See
http://bugs.debian.org/188194 and
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0209.1/0218.html
