Re^2: Format string vulnerability

This is not entirely correct, it's a perl bug that can be exploited if a script uses format strings insecurely (as the webmin module in question does). See demerphq's post on the subject.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
