VULHUB ™

A vulnerability has been reported in the man utility. The problem is said to occur due to a format string bug when handling a catalog file. As a result, an attacker may be capable of writing arbitrary values to sensitive locations within process memory. The successful exploitation of this issue could potentially result in a local attacker gaining elevated privileges, likely setgid 'man'.
