Default permissions for /dev/log

["Nikita V. Youshchenko" <yoush@cs.msu.su>]

Hello.

I've just found that on all my systems /dev/log has rw-rw-rw- permissions.
Is that Debian default?
If yes, any local user may bloat system logs by writing a simple program
like
#include <syslog.h>
int main()
{
         while (1)
                syslog(LOG_INFO, "TIME TO KILL /var FILESYSTEM");
}
