Description:
vashnukad has discovered a vulnerability in Linux Kiss Server, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the "log_message()" function in lks.c. This can be exploited by e.g. sending a command containing format string specifiers to the affected server.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
