VULHUB ™

apt-www-proxy is prone to a format string vulnerability. This problem is due to incorrect use of the syslog() function to log error messages. It is possible to corrupt memory by passing format strings through the vulnerable logging function. This may potentially be exploited to overwrite arbitrary locations in memory with attacker-specified values.
