Format string vulnerability in the PROJECT::write_account_file function in client/cs_account.cpp in BOINC, possibly 7.2.33, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the gui_urls item in an account file.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
