Description:
Ulf Härnhammar has reported a vulnerability in Bidwatcher, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in "netstuff.cpp" and may be exploited via an eBay HTTP server (or via a man-in-the-middle attack) by sending a specially crafted response.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
