Format string vulnerability in the yyerror function in lib/cgraph/scan.l in Graphviz allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via format string specifiers in unknown vectors, which are not properly handled in an error string.

Weakness

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