   | CVE Name | CVE-2008-1333 |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | Logging messages displayed using the ast_verbose logging |
   | | API call are not displayed as a character string, they |
   | | are displayed as a format string. |
   | | |
   | | Output as a result of the Manager command "command" is |
   | | not appended to the resulting response message as a |
   | | character string, it is appended as a format string. |
   | | |
   | | It is possible in both instances for an attacker to |
   | | provide a formatted string as a value for input which |
   | | can cause a crash. |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | Input given to both the ast_verbose logging API call and |
   | | astman_append function is now interpreted as a character |
   | | string and not as a format string. |
