Format string vulnerability in TN3270 Resource Gateway 1.1.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in syslog function calls.

Format string vulnerability in TN3270 Resource Gateway 1.1.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in syslog function calls. Tn3270 Resource Gateway is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. This may be exploited to crash the service and may allow arbitrary code execution.

Successful exploitation requires that a local user is able to input specially crafted resource strings into the database and e.g. tricking another user to run the affected software.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.1.0. Prior versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION: Update to version 1.1.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by vendor.
