Apache mod_tcl is a TCL interpreting module for the Apache 2.x web server.

Sparfell discovered format string errors in calls to the set_var function in tcl_cmds.c and tcl_core.c.

A remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Apache server.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All mod_tcl users should upgrade to the latest version:
