Use of Externally-Controlled Format String

Format string vulnerability in XM Easy Personal FTP Server 5.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in the USER command or certain other available or nonexistent commands. NOTE: It was later reported that 5.3.0 is also vulnerable.Show less

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Wireshark (aka Ethereal) 0.10.x to 0.99.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) ANSI MAP, (2) Checkpoint FW-1, (3) MQ, (4) XML, and (5) NTP dissectors.Show less

Format string vulnerability in time.cc in MySQL Server 4.1 before 4.1.21 and 5.0 before 1 April 2006 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a format string instead of a date as the first parameter to the date_format function, which is later used in a formatted print call to display the error message.Show less

Format string vulnerability in the CF_syslog function launchd in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.6 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers that are not properly handled in a syslog call in the logging facility, as demonstrated by using a crafted plist file.Show less

Format string vulnerability in Dia 0.94 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering errors or warnings, as demonstrated via format string specifiers in a .bmp filename. NOTE: the original exploit was demonstrated through a command line argument, but there are other mechanisms for input that are automatically processed by Dia, such as a crafted .dia file.Show less

Format string vulnerability in the raydium_log function in console.c in Raydium before SVN revision 310 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the format parameter, which are not properly handled in a call to raydium_console_line_add.Show less

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the logging code in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) before 0.88.1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. NOTE: as of 20060410, it is unclear whether this is a vulnerability, as there is some evidence that the arguments are actually being sanitized properly.Show less

Format string vulnerability in PunkBuster 1.180 and earlier, as used by Soldier of Fortune II and possibly other games, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in invalid cvar values, which are not properly handled when the server kicks the player and records the reason.Show less

Format string vulnerability in a logging function as used by various SFTP servers, including (1) AttachmateWRQ Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Server before 6.0.0.9, (2) Reflection for Secure IT Windows Server before 6.0 build 38, (3) F-Secure SSH Server for Windows before 5.3 build 35, (4) F-Secure SSH Server for UNIX 3.0 through 5.0.8, (5) SSH Tectia Server 4.3.6 and earlier and 4.4.0, and (6) SSH Shell Server 3.2.9 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via unspecified vectors, involving crafted filenames and the stat command.Show less

Format string vulnerability in the SetImageInfo function in image.c for ImageMagick 6.2.3 and other versions, and GraphicsMagick, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a numeric format string specifier such as %d in the file name, a variant of CVE-2005-0397, and as demonstrated using the convert program.Show less

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in logging functions in mod_auth_pgsql before 2.0.3, when used for user authentication against a PostgreSQL database, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated via the username.Show less

Format string vulnerability in the logging functionality in BitDefender AntiVirus 7.2 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in file or directory name.Show less

Format string vulnerability in cgi.c for Monkey daemon (monkeyd) before 0.9.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP GET request containing double-encoded format string specifiers (aka "double expansion error").Show less
