Format string vulnerability in the raydium_log function in console.c in Raydium before SVN revision 310 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the format parameter, which are not properly handled in a call to raydium_console_line_add.

Weakness

The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.

Extended Description

When an attacker can modify an externally-controlled format string, this can lead to buffer overflows, denial of service, or data representation problems. It should be noted that in some circumstances, such as internationalization, the set of format strings is externally controlled by design. If the source of these format strings is trusted (e.g. only contained in library files that are only modifiable by the system administrator), then the external control might not itself pose a vulnerability.
