CVE-2004-1388

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: BerliOS GPD daemon (gpsd) versions 1.9.0 through 2.7

Description: The issue is related to a format string vulnerability in the gpsd report function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain GPS requests containing format string specifiers that are not properly handled in syslog calls.

Recommendations: For versions 1.9.0 through 2.7, consider disabling the gpsd report function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the gpsd daemon to minimize the risk of remote attackers sending malicious GPS requests.
