Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Shim (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to a flaw in Shim when creating a new ESL variable. If Shim fails to create the new variable, it attempts to print an error message, but the number of parameters used by the logging function does not match the format string, leading to a crash under certain circumstances. This can be exploited to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
