Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the configuration file in SonicWALL GLobal VPN Client 3.1.556 and 4.0.0.810 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) Hostname tag or the (2) name attribute in the Connection tag. NOTE: there might not be any realistic circumstances in which this issue crosses privilege boundaries.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
