A flaw was found in rsyslog. When using the imdtls input module configured for name or fingerprint authentication, permitted-peer identity checks are not enforced after a successful DTLS handshake. A remote attacker possessing a valid certificate signed by the listener's trusted Certificate Authority could bypass peer restrictions and inject unauthorized syslog records into the input stream.
