Format string vulnerability in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.x before 1.6.0-beta6 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via logging messages that are not properly handled by (1) the ast_verbose logging API call, or (2) the astman_append function.

Weakness

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