CVE-2008-5617
The ACL handling in rsyslog 3.12.1 to 3.20.0, 4.1.0, and 4.1.1 does not follow $AllowedSender directive, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and spoof log messages or create a large number of spurious messages.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
