CVE-2006-5790: Multiple format string vulnerabilities in elogd.c in ELOG 2.6.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause...

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in elogd.c in ELOG 2.6.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) an entry with an attachment whose name contains format string specifiers (el_submit function), and possibly other vectors in the (2) receive_config, (3) show_rss_feed, (4) show_elog_list, (5) show_logbook_node, and (6) server_loop functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

ELOG 2.6.2 and earlier contains format string flaws that can let a remote attacker crash the logging service and may allow arbitrary code execution. The clearest vector in the source bundle is a malicious attachment name submitted to ELOG. Active exploitation is not evidenced in the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running ELOG 2.6.2 or earlier, especially if the service is reachable by untrusted users or accepts log entries with attachments. The affected product metadata in the bundle is incomplete, so asset validation is required. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high potential impact where ELOG remains reachable. Prioritize externally exposed or shared internal instances first. The age of the CVE lowers likelihood in modern estates, but unsupported legacy deployments can still carry meaningful business risk. Mitigation focus: Identify all ELOG deployments and confirm version numbers.; Review Debian DSA-1242 and vendor guidance for fixed packages.; Upgrade or replace ELOG 2.6.2 and earlier where confirmed affected..
