CVE-2026-19654

Rsyslog: a configuration-dependent issue in rsyslog's optional imptcp input module can allow an unauthenticated remote peer to crash rsyslogd

Published Aug 12, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A unauthenticated remote peer may lead rsyslogd to crash due to a flaw in the optional imptcp module. A crafted input sequence during oversize-frame recovery can cause an invalid internal message length and terminate rsyslogd. No confidentiality or integrity impact, privilege escalation, or code execution has been identified. imtcp and the default imptcp framing modes are not affected.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue, users that are relying on the imptcp module can implement one of the following options: 1) Remove the framing.delimiter.regex from the affected 2) Disabled the affected `imptcp` listener or unload `imptcp` if it's not required 3) Restrict the network access to the listener to trusted senders only
