Format string vulnerability in the PRINT_ERROR function in common.c for Cherokee Web Server 0.4.16 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the -C command line argument. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue could be exploited remotely, or if Cherokee is running at escalated privileges. Therefore it might not be a vulnerability.
