The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing data to be displayed in the "Server Log". This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long (more than 2000 bytes), specially crafted string sent to the service.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
