slurp is a freely available, open source NNTP client. It is designed for use on most Unix and Linux operating systems.  
  
  
  
  
It may be possible for a remote server to execute code on a vulnerable client. slurp offers functionality that allows the software to write messages to the system log. A format string vulnerability in the syslog function may allow a malicious server to supply a custom format string that writes to an arbitrary address in memory.
