Description

The AnyDesk GUI is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable format string vulnerability. By sending a specially
crafted discovery packet, an attacker can corrupt the frontend process when it loads or refreshes. While the
discovery service is always running, the GUI frontend must be started to trigger the vulnerability. On
successful exploitation, code is executed within the context of the user who started the AnyDesk GUI.
