Discussion
Red Hat 'allegro-tools' 'err()' Function Format String Vulnerability
Red Hat 'allegro-tools' is prone to a format-string vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as a format specifier to a formatted-printing function.
An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
Red Hat 'allegro-tools' 4.2.3 for Fedora 14 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
