EMC DiskXtender MediaStor RPC Interface Format String Vulnerability

EMC DiskXtender is prone to a format-string vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to a formatted-printing function.

Authenticated attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application, which typically runs with SYSTEM privileges. Successful exploits will compromise affected computers. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
