Format string vulnerability in the ReportSysLogEvent function in the LPD server in cyan soft Opium OPI Server 4.10.1028 and earlier; cyanPrintIP Easy OPI, Professional, and Basic 4.10.1030 and earlier; Workstation 4.10.836 and earlier; and Standard 4.10.940 and earlier; might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the queue name in a request.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.

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.
