Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a format
string validation problem associated with a SHOUTcast streaming server.

to an invalid memory location, allowing the execution of arbitrary code
on a vulnerable server.

Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can send a malicious HTTP request containing a format string
specifier in the URI.
