   |      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.                        |
