CVE-2008-6519 (GCVE-0-2008-6519)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2009-03-25 18:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 11:34
VLAI
Summary
Format string vulnerability in Xitami Web Server 2.2a through 2.5c2, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a Long Running Web Process (LRWP) request, which triggers incorrect logging code involving the sendfmt function in the SMT kernel.
