Description |
log2mail contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code on the system. This issue is due to a format string error in the "printlog()" function. By logging a crafted message via the syslog function, a local attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the log2mail process, which is typically a member of group 'adm', resulting in a loss of integrity. |
