---------------
syslog-ng (2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1) feisty-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
      (crash) via a message with a timestamp that does not contain a trailing
      space, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
  * src/logmsg.c (log_msg_parse): fixed possible NULL pointer dereference
      in log message parsing, as done in upstream RCS
  * References:
