OpenBSD and NetBSD are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because they fail to properly parse format strings to the 'printf(1)' function.
|
|
|
|
An attacker can exploit this issue to cause applications using the vulnerable call to crash with a segmentation fault, denying service to legitimate users.
|
|
|
|
The following are reported vulnerable:
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD 4.6
|
|
NetBSD 5.0.1
