| CVE Name | CVE-2008-1333 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Description | Logging messages displayed using the ast_verbose logging |
| | API call are not displayed as a character string, they |
| | are displayed as a format string. |
| | |
| | Output as a result of the Manager command "command"
is |
| | not appended to the resulting response message as a |
| | character string, it is appended as a format string. |
| | |
| | It is possible in both instances for an attacker to |
| | provide a formatted string as a value for input which |
| | can cause a crash. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Resolution | Input given to both the ast_verbose logging API call and |
| | astman_append function is now interpreted as a character |
| | string and not as a format string. |
