An IP kernel deadlock vulnerability occurring when vxWorks's tNetTask +calls logMsg because of a transient mbuf starvation situation has been fixed. +The fix was to not call logFdAdd for the log client's socket and instead +create a specialized vxWorks device driver which calls errlogPrintf for each +incoming message and then call logFdAdd for a file descriptor opened with +that device driver. The desirable functional change being errlogPrintf's +capability to discard messages when it gets behind (because of a transient +mbuf starvation situation).
