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

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in snoop on Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when the -o option is omitted, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an SMB packet.

Weakness

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