Rwhosid is a RWHOIS daemon provided by Network Solutions. RWHOIS is a protocol for remote listing of user name, login time, elapsed time online and other pertinent data for users connected to all machines on a network. When a remote request is logged through the syslog function, the format string passed contains user supplied input. This may lead to memory corruption, and the execution of arbitrary code by rwhoisd. This will only occur when the option "set use-syslog: YES" is set in the rwhoisd.conf file. This option is enabled by default.
