Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the logging handler of the Gnome database access library. Depending on the application that uses the library, this could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user running the application.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
