*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Seth Arnold (seth-arnold):
Log line matching does not account for the fact that for small kernel
timestamps, there can be space at the beginning of the stamp.
Marking as security as not having a proper report of blocked connexions
reduces auditing capacities
Here is an example of a log line that would not work, because of the
space in the timestamp "[ 1690.227087]"
