Title
A format string vulnerability was found in the Rsync Backup on the ADM
Summary
A format string vulnerability was found in the Rsync Backup on the ADM. The vulnerability occurs because user-controlled rsync backup configuration or log data may be processed through an unsafe format string operation. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to disclose memory information or cause denial of service of the affected backup component.
Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.RUN1 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.3.RI81.
