CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/134.html

Format string vulnerability in the afsacl.so VFS module in Samba 3.0.6 through 3.0.23d allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a filename on an AFS file system, which is not properly handled during Windows ACL mapping.

Weakness

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