A problem exists with the HylaFAX program, hfaxd. When hfaxd tries to change it’s queue directory and fails, it prints an error message via syslog by directly passing user-supplied data as the format string. If hfaxd is installed setuid root, this behaviour can be exploited to gain root access locally. Note that Linux-Mandrake does not ship hfaxd setuid root by default.
