commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=fb4402b51693e8d191bb568622ed9cf9315493fd
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3243
 "Rsyslog uses weak permissions for generating log files."

Ignoring this CVE for Buildroot as normally there are not local
users and a build could customize the rsyslog.conf to be more
restrictive ($FileCreateMode 0640).

Example fix from Alpino Linux
