The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the Backup Server component when creating a log message. This can be exploited to cause the process to crash or corrupt memory via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 5001. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: Exploitation on Windows results in a DoS only. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 15.5 running on Windows. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict access to trusted hosts only.
