Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Graylog (org.graylog2:graylog2-server) versions before 6.3.12, from 7.0.0 before 7.0.7, and from 7.1.0 before 7.1.2 are affected. The parser for key-value syslog messages, such as those from Fortigate devices, can be abused to overwrite individual message fields or create invalid messages that Graylog discards, which can help hide malicious activity. Upgrade to 6.3.12, 7.0.7, 7.1.2 or later; the source lists no feasible workarounds.
