[Debian-audit] Another syslog issue

  Inspired by Ulf's bug report in simple-proxy which was DSA-786
 I had a look at a couple more proxy servers.

  This resulted in a bug report against anon-proxy, almost identical
 to that in simple-proxy:

- syslog(type,oMsg.m_strMsgBuff);
+ syslog(type,"%s",oMsg.m_strMsgBuff);

  I'm thinking these are the most simple bugs to spot, even if
 pscan fails to work properly at times (still haven't sorted out
 #311251).

  It would be nice to scan all binaries using "syslog", but I
 can't think of an obvious way to do it - short of grepping for
 the "openlog" / "syslog".

  It's a shame that syslog isn't in a shared library as this would
 allow all the packages using it to be listed.

  *ugh*

  Anyway .. I figured a status mail wasn't a bad idea, if only
 to show that I'm still doing "stuff".
