Format string vulnerability in Armed Assault (aka ArmA) 1.14 and earlier, and 1.16 beta, and Armed Assault II 1.02 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) nickname and (2) datafile fields in a join request, which is not properly handled when logging an error message.

Weakness

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