Problem description
A format string vulnerability was discovered in yelp after version
2.19.90 and before 2.24 that could allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid URI on the
command-line or via URI helpers in Firefox, Evolution, or possibly
other programs (CVE-2008-3533).
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
