The Platform Service Process (asampsp) in Fan-Out Driver Platform Services for Novell Identity Manager (IDM) 3.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified network traffic that triggers a syslog message containing invalid format string specifiers, as demonstrated by a Nessus scan.
Weakness
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
