Title: GpsDrive Friendsd Remote Format String Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

GpsDrive is a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation application available for Linux and BSD distributions. It also contains a Web server called 'Friendsd' to allow users to locate other users of the system on a map.

The Friendsd Web server in GpsDrive is prone to a remotely exploitable format string vulnerability. This issue is due to an insecure 'fprintf()' call made by the server during error handling.

A remote attacker may leverage this issue to write to arbitrary process memory, facilitating code execution. This can result in unauthorized remote access.
