Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: BerliOS GPD daemon (gpsd) versions 1.9.0 through 2.7

Description: The issue is related to a format string vulnerability in the gpsd report function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain GPS requests containing format string specifiers that are not properly handled in syslog calls.
