| Subject: | Q: on Format String attacks |

Hello, I'm seeing hits in a report on the Format String attack NASL's such as: Format string on HTTP header value Format string on URI Etc. However, there are no references given, and I'm not finding any PoC or detailed platform-specific information on how to document or exploit this. I hesitate to flag it as a major problem, as it seems almost too generic to worry about. Can anyone help me out with some background information, PoC, etc? I have already googled the topic, and I understand the basic issues, but what I don't see is known vulnerabilities in modern products through this attack vector. All the references go back to 2000 or so. Thanks, Mark Lachniet _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
