Description:
sk has discovered a vulnerability in ELOG, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in "elogd" when handling an overly long value sent to the "cmd" and "mode" parameters. This can be exploited to crash the service.
