Maybe some more checks are required as if n != 4 this could be that one of the
variables are not used and therefore not initialized.

Before sscanf() this could be a `memset(language, 0, sizeof(language));' or more
simple a `*language = 0;' depending on the type of language.  Also the code

   if (n != 4 || isempty(description)) {
      free(description);
      description = NULL;
   }

could become

   if (n != 4 || isempty(description)) {
      if (description)
         free(description);
      description = NULL;
   }

as well as the line

   esyslog("dbloms: \"%X\" \"%02X\" \"%7s\" \"%s\"", Stream, Type, language, description);   

may look like

   esyslog("dbloms: \"%X\" \"%02X\" \"%7s\" \"%s\"", Stream, Type, language, description ? description : "");
