rsyslog 4.1.2 (v4-devel) released - IMPORTANT SECURITY RELEASE
Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 4.1.2, a member of the v4-development
branch.
Most importantly, this release addresses a security vulnerability that
renders the $AllowedSender directive useless. This release has another
security fix, which addresses a imudp which emitted a message each time
a non-permitted sender tried to send a message. This could have filled
the disk. Now it only emits a message once per minute. Further, all
fixes and changes from 3.21.9 (beta) and 3.20.2 (stable) have been
included in this release.

All users are advised to update to this release. It is urgently
recommended not only for those that would be vulnerable to the security
issue but also to anyone using TLS-based communications.

As always, feedback is appreciated. We hope this release will be useful.
