strings before passing them to syslog, resulting in format string
vulnerabilities.

<impact type="high">
<p>
An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities
to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the
Apache2 server by sending specially crafted login names.

<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
