Format string vulnerability in BMC PATROL Agent before 3.7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid version number to TCP port 3181, which are not properly handled when writing a log message.
Weakness
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
