Format string vulnerability in the log_message function in lks.c in Linux Kiss Server 1.2, when background (daemon) mode is disabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid command.
Weakness
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
