Solstice-Pod up to 5.0.2 WEBRTC server mishandles the format-string specifiers %x; %p; %c and %s in the screen_key, display_name, browser_name, and operation_system parameter during the authentication process. This may crash the server and force Solstice-Pod to reboot, which leads to a denial of service.

Weakness

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