ISSUE:
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when generating the scan report file. This can potentially be
exploited to execute arbitrary code when a file or directory containing format string specifiers in its name (e.g.
%.8X%.8X) is scanned.

BitDefender was notified on September 16, 2005 by the SecuBox team on the existence of a format string vulnerability in
BitDefender products.
