Hi @cristgl,
Why loglen must be greater or equal than 5?
I would say that it must be 2:
Let pieces be { 195, 164, 0 }.
strlen(pieces) = 2
_loglen = strlen(pieces) + 1 = 3
loglen = 3 guarantees that pieces[0], pieces[1] and pieces[2] are defined.
if (loglen >= 3 && pieces[1] == 195 && pieces[2] == 164) { ... }I think it fits. Am I wrong? Please clarify your example.
Cheers!

Hi @vikman90,
You are completely right, I was taking into account the 'id' because somehow I thought loglen was counting the string composed by "id:msg". Thank you for your observation.
Cheers

This PR fixes the next invalid read:
The code was intended to fix the next specific log with an umlaut:
Mär 02 17:30:52.This character is stored in two bytes,
195 164, and the message received at CleanMSG has 4 bytes as minimum. Accessingpieces[1]could cause an invalid read as the message would have 5 bytes counting the id. To fix it, the length of the log has to be higher than 4, becauseMärcounts as 4 bytes.
