Source: sec
Version: 2.5.3-1+nmu1
Severity: critical

Starting sec with /etc/default/sec untouched causes sec to write to
syslog for example every time a rule creates a context. This may cause
another context to get created. So sec wrote > 400GB syslog in 24h at my
system making it unusable.

From the sec.pl manpage:

"Warning: be careful with this option if you use SEC  for  monitoring
syslog logfiles, because it might create message loops (SEC log messages
are written to SEC input files that trigger new log messages)."

Resolution: delete the "syslog=daemon" in /etc/default/sec
