Elog · Elog · CVE-2006-5790
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
ELOG versions 2.6.2 and earlier
Description:
The issue concerns multiple format string vulnerabilities in the elogd.c file. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities can be triggered through an entry with an attachment whose name contains format string specifiers in the `el submit` function, as well as potentially other vectors in the `receive config`, `show rss feed`, `show elog list`, `show logbook node`, and `server loop` functions.
Recommendations:
For ELOG versions 2.6.2 and earlier, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
