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

Format string vulnerability in webmail.exe in NetWin SurgeMail 38k4 and earlier and beta 39a, and WebMail 3.1s and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the page parameter.

Weakness

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